Feb 24, 2012 - Marius Zaromskis, the flashy striker who came to prominence capturing the DREAM welterweight title in 2009, has signed with Bellator, MMA Fighting has learned.

According to a source close to the fighter, Zaromskis will debut towards the later part of season six, which is scheduled to start on March 9. Zaromskis couldn't be included in the upcoming season six welterweight tournament, which already had a completed lineup by the time of his signing.

The 31-year-old Lithuanian who is known for his athletic high kicks holds a record of 16-6 with 1 no contest in his career, with 12 victories coming via knockout.

After a solid early career, he put together his burst run upon signing with DREAM in 2009, scoring consecutive knockouts of Hayato "Mach" Sakurai, Jason High and Ho Bae Myeong. The victory over High earned him the DREAM belt.

He later signed with Striekforce, where he lost bouts to Nick Diaz and Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos.

Since that deal expired, he's rebounded to go 3-1, most recently defeating Bruno Carvalho last November.

A date and opponent for his debut is likely to be released within the next month.

You're pretty cute

We should hook up some time so that I can hit it and quit it

Hendo/Bisping:
"He hit him so hard that even gravity got scared. Bisping hung in mid-air for a moment while gravity screamed at inertia, "Did you see that shit!?" Then, after a high five, the two universal forces quit screwing around and yanked Bisping's limp body onto the floor." - quotes by Seanbaby

I had No clue Marius was cut from Strikeforce...

The first time i saw him fight was in the Nick Diaz figth, and i was extremely impress with him. He almost KO Nick something condit did not even came close 2. In all the fights i have seen him in, He always seems 2 brings it come fight time. Got to love fighters that bring it, give it their all in the cage. I have no clue how good his ground game is, but i think he is a great addition 2 bellator. Hopefully a catch weight bout with Lombard??? That would be a good battle.

Zaromskis is a welterweight. Lombard is a middleweight.

Catchweight?

If you read above i mention it would be a catchweight bout. Lombard has plenty of times fought at 195 against guys that are 205, and are know mma names. Marius is an exciting fighter, and always brings it is his fight. So i figured a super fight with Lombard at 180 or 175 would be great for Marius first fight in Bellator. It be better than Lombard vs an unknown with no skills like Vitale or Taylor…. At least Marius is a dream champion. Plus that catchweight fight would be way better than a super fight between Marius and Askren.
