DREAM WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION MARIUS "WHITEMARE" ZAROMSKIS SIGNS WITH STRIKEFORCE
DREAM Welterweight Grand Prix Champion Marius "Whitemare'' Zaromskis (13-3) of Lithuania has signed a multi-fight agreement with world championship promotion STRIKEFORCE.
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.
Two of his three losses came against former Cage Rage British champion in Che Mills.
