Strikeforce signs Marius Zaromskis
By Jim Murphy October 31st, 2009Sherdog is reporting that DREAM welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis has signed a multi-fight deal to compete for Strikeforce in the US:
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.
