Quoteworthy:
"Always I'm looking for high kick but sometimes happens, sometimes not. I'm very happy to finish a fight with a high kick ... sometimes (it's) difficult because if opponent waiting for high kick it's very difficult to land it. If he's not waiting, it's much easier. It's going to be a good fight because he's a strong guy. It will be a nice fight - nice and hard fight. Also it's more difficult for me because he's tall and have long arms. (I'll have to) Try to find my space ... You never know with fights. You never know what's happen in a fight. It can be 25 minutes. It can be one round or it can be five rounds, you never know."
Recent Strikeforce acquisition Marius Zaromskis talks about meeting Nick Diaz in his promotion debut at the "Miami" event on Saturday, Jan. 30 in Sunrise, FL. The "Whitemare" is coming off a first round mutilation of Myeon Ho Bae at DREAM 12 back on Oct. 25 -- the third consecutive time the Lithuanian won a fight with a head kick in the opening round. He also clowned Jason High and the heavily-favored Hayoto Sakurai to finish his stellar run in the July 20 conclusion to the DREAM Welterweight Grand Prix. Can he continue his path of destruction against the foul-mouthed fightmonger? Or will the "long arms" and stellar submission game of Diaz give him a rude welcome? This one is going to be fireworks -- don't blink.

Fedor was originally cast as the main character in 24, but was replaced by the producers when he managed to kill every terrorist and save the day in 12 minutes and 37 seconds

Zoram likes to time the kick backing people up.
Nick doesn’t back up so much. Whatever this is one of my fav match ups in recent memory.

Whitemare is awesome
I def see him dropping Diaz sometime in the fight
by Lester The Pimp on Jan 28, 2010 1:31 PM EST reply actions 1 recs
Eh
Zaromskis has no ground game and Nick is a superb grappler. Whitemare is getting subbed when the going gets tough.
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

maybe...he seemed to have decent enough TDD against High though...and Nick won't come in close...why don't you play in the Pick'em pool Jesse?

Hype for this event???
wtf is going on? this is a good card and there is absolutely ZERO hype for this event. Wheres a countdown show? preview videos or something. Strikeforce needs to step it up.
wait, never mind, I found a hype video for the Lawler vs Manhef fight.

Can't wait for this fight
Diaz and Whitemare are both wild men and have excellent striking, nobody lands as many punches as Diaz and Whitemare’s head kicks are lethal. You never know what either man will do in a fight, especially Marius his offense rivals Bones Jones’ for spontaneity and it’s impossible to mimic his style in training or prepare yourself for what he’s going to do. He even tries flips in the middle of fights.
Ultimately I think that Nick’s superior BJJ will be the difference and his chin should hold out even against Whitemare but he can’t try to stand and trade with Marius or else he’ll lose. Nick needs to fight smart and to go for the takedown or pull guard as quickly as possible, he is a class above Marius on the ground so it’d be stupid to ignore those skills.

Tito Ortiz (seriously...)
good post...I agree and think primarily Nick's chin will give him time to use his jits
Fedor was originally cast as the main character in 24, but was replaced by the producers when he managed to kill every terrorist and save the day in 12 minutes and 37 seconds
And its Good night IRENE!!!!
“Zaromskis we can do no wrong you and I!!!! You fighting!! Me commentating!!!”
Lol you’d think he was 50% of the reason Marius scored the KO. Awesome stuff.
I reallllllllly like Marius so I’m pulling for him big, although it is nice to see ONE of the Diaz’ win a fight every now and then since Nate is useless.
Ps: the pics above are awesome. As if nobody tell these guys they are total ‘Chowdaheads’.

Nicks never been KO'd
Hardly rocked even at 180 why do so many people think he’s gonna be this fight…
by disputedchamp on Jan 28, 2010 8:03 PM EST via mobile reply actions
He has actually, Jeremy Jackson KO'd him a long time ago
He does have an iron chin though, his main problem has been that he cuts easily though this hasn’t been a problem since he had facial surgery to take away the scar tissue. However Whitemare is a quality striker and has vicious kicks, no matter how good your chin is if you take one of Marius’ head kicks then you’re going to be in trouble. Nick won’t get KO’d easily but he has to takedown Marius if he wants to win this fight, it’s too big a risk to stand and bang with Whitemare and Nick has a huge advantage on the ground so he would be stupid to not use his BJJ in this fight.
