We analyze high-energy scattering for noncommutative field theories using the dual gravity description. We find that the Froissart-Martin bound still holds, but that cross sections stretch in the noncommutative directions in a way dependent on the infrared cutoff. This puzzling behavior suggests new aspects of UV/IR mixing.
