6. Nick Diaz vs. Marius Zaromskis
Though Nick Diaz's foundation remains his world class Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills, his budding boxing skills are rapidly becoming perhaps his most dangerous skill set.
Both Diaz and Marius Zaromskis, the DREAM 168-pound champion, met in January of last year in order to determine the first Strikeforce welterweight champion.
Zaromskis, who hails from Lithuania, derives from a heavy kickboxing background. Of his 15 career victories, 11 come by some form of knockout.
In their welterweight clash, the action was early dictated by Diaz and his unorthodox boxing skills, which kept Marius at the end of his reach. Zaromskis eventually waded in the fire, dropped Diaz with a powerful right hook, though failed to put him away.
Diaz recovered and began to unload shots to the head and body of his opponent, wearing him down en route to an impressive and emphatic first-round TKO win.
