Nick Diaz KOs Marius Zaromskis at Strikeforce Miami

SUNRISE, Fla. — Nick Diaz won two big fights for Strikeforce in 2009. He started 2010 by winning an even bigger one, becoming the promotion’s new welterweight champion by defeating Marius Zaromskis by first-round knockout at Strikeforce Miami.

Although the smart game plan probably would have been to go to the ground, Diaz is a brawler who loves nothing more than to stand and trade punches with his opponent, and that’s exactly what he did during a first round in which Zaromskis landed some solid strikes, but Diaz looked better than usual in the stand-up game.
