ising Welterweight Star Marius Zaromskis Signs With Strikeforce
(All hail the new Cro Cop. Props: lqdocelot19)
Dream Welterweight Grand Prix champion Marius Zaromskis — who recently scored his third-straight first-round head-kick knockout at Dream.12 — has signed a multi-fight contract with Strikeforce, according to Sherdog. The 29-year-old Lithuanian will still be able to compete in Dream, but could make his U.S. debut at Strikeforce's December 19th event in San Jose. As you can see on Strikeforce.com's fighters section, Zaromskis's awesome but slightly-racially-tinged nickname "The Whitemare" has been changed to the more generic (but still appropriate) "Raging Demon."
It's a fantastic pickup for Strikeforce, which has been basically waiting for Nick Diaz to get his shit together before they can crown somebody their welterweight champ, to the great disgust of Jay Hieron. Now, Zaromskis can take on Hieron for the vacant belt if Diaz continues to act squirrelly, or kick the crap out of someone like Joe Riggs to establish himself in America first. More to come...
was al tijdje bekend in geruchten circuit, maar kwam nu pas officieel bericht tegen.
