Dream welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis has come to terms on a multi-fight contract with Strikeforce, according to officials within the promotion.

An emerging superstar at 170 pounds, the 29-year-old Lithuanian could make his promotional debut on Dec. 19 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif. Zaromskis will still compete inside the Japan-based Dream organization, which has formed an alliance with Strikeforce.

Having supplanted Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic as the man with the sport’s most-feared feet, Zaromskis last competed at Dream 12 on Oct. 25, when he leveled Korean Myeon Ho Bae with a first-round head kick in a non-title affair. He captured the Dream welterweight crown in July, as he stopped Affliction veteran Jason High and respected Japanese standout Hayato "Mach" Sakurai on the same night. Both were victimized by Zaromskis head kicks.

Spawned by the London Shootfighters camp, Zaromskis joins a stable of Strikeforce welterweights that includes former EliteXC champion Jake Shields, UFC veteran Nick Diaz and one-time International Fight League titleholder Jay Hieron.


Strikeforce is making more strong moves:cheer: Them partnering up with Dream is great for us fans:hammert:

 

for those who haven't got to see Zaromskis fight, check out this highlight. The music sucks but a good highlight. Notice the fact he throws kicks from both legs. Also at about 3:45 in the highlight watch the punch kick combo. He sets up the kick with a nice one two combo. The guy drops his hands and gets put to sleep. A thing of beauty.:cheer: Zaromskis is the truth,:hammert: to bite a line off BTG

 

what highlight? :dunno:

 

Wow good signing by strikeforce. Zaromskis is Crocop 2.0. Dude straight kicks heads off.

 

whups, forgot to post the link. Thanks for making me look like an ass Gatti!:fightme:

but still check out the combo at like 3:45. :kidcool:

 

:hammert:

good fighter but his defense is not the greatest and he's a bit wild with his punches. GSP would handle hime easily I think. Sill a great fighter though, I just watched his last three fights.

 

I notice his nickname is 'The WHITEmare' , I also notice his country of origin is Lithuania, this ofcourse makes him a racist Arab.

 

IMO, the comparison's to Cro Cop are pretty accurate. His kicks are insane and can end the fight at a moments notce. But against a well rounded fighter he may be lacking. GSP destroy's anyone at WW, IMO, so that comparison is a tough one. I think he will make great fights with Shields and Diaz! I would love to see Strikeforce sign Alvarez to throw in that mix as well.

 

the guy looks like a killer

i loved the attempted backflip headstomp, LOL

 

Did you guys know that lithuania has the highest murder rate in the EU? Just a side note.

 

I know that it was hell on Tom Brokaw to say it:hammert:

 

Seriously, who the fuck does that? ::

I haven't seen much of this guy, but I saw his last fight and the HL vid and he's pretty savage. Good signing for SF for sure, he will be fun to watch.

 

It's amazing how 'towel heads' are percieved by the redneck south as killers, yet, interesting reading that middle-eastern Arab countries have the lowest average murder rate per capita in the world.

 

I think you really have lost it now Kauki:notallthere:

 

That would be the worst kind of guy for an ordinary person to fight.

He seems like a dickhead--lots of punches to guys who are obviously out. Impressive highlights, for sure.

i live in NY (no not the city)

and?:warning:

 

kick his ass GATTI!!!:stir:

 

:warning:

 

you're gonna need a bat, thats about the only thing that'd give you a shot against me :fightme:

 

Be careful, Gatti is like the Kimbo Slice of Armenia(or some place like that)
