Known for his explosive, highlight reel kicks, the 29-year-old, world-ranked Zaromskis has been his opponents’ worst “Whitemare” the last three years. The 2009 DREAM Welterweight Grand Prix Champion has won five fights in a row and nine of his last 10.
Zaromskis is coming off an utter destruction of Myeon Ho Bae, winning by 0:19, first-round KO on Oct 25. The victory earned Zaromskis the 2009 DREAM Welterweight Grand Prix crown.
Remarkably, it was the third consecutive time Zaromskis won a fight with a head kick in the opening round. On July 20, 2009, he defeated both Jason High (2:22) and heavily favored Hayoto Sakurai (4:03) with head kicks to win DREAM’s 170-pound tournament.
Zaromskis turned pro on Feb. 4, 2000. He fought several times for UK-based Cage Rage before joining DREAM in early 2009.
very big signing,very big for that company.i wouldnt trust dream if i was strikeforce.i hope there legit with teaming with strikeforce because it means more fun or us but i feel this may turn nasty this sharing talent.like 2 kids fighting over toys or 2 guys fighting over a girl.
That’s sick. Zaromskis is the man. Hopefully he can hang with wrestlers like Jay Hieron. This is also a great answer to the Nick Diaz issue. Now, Strikeforce can put on a legit 170 lb. title fight without him if he wants to keep flaking out.
