MARIUS ZAROMSKIS vs. EVANGELISTA SANTOS
Round 1: Zaromskis spent much of the first minute circling away in fine Houston Alexander style. Both fighters traded some huge punches. Cyborg rocked Zaromskis with a right that sent him back into the cage, but Zaromskis swung away when pursued and was able to get out of danger. Zaromskis landed a right head kick. Cyborg with a big leg kick that wows the Nokia crowd. Cyborg landed a right head kick that sent Zaromskis stumbling, but he recovered and ran after Cyborg with a flying knee. When he did, Cyborg dropped him with a big punch in mid-air and then followed with three shots on the ground before Herb Dean could stop the fight. Evangelista Santos d. Marius Zaromskis (TKO, round 1)
Cris Cyborg picked up her husband and carried him around the cage. That’s something you don’t see every day. Zaromskis stayed on the ground for a few minutes before finally getting up and sitting on a stool, then exiting the cage. Santos looked a whole lot like his wife (the ferocious style) in this fight, and Zaromskis goes to 0-2 in Strikeforce.
Ryan Loco: As if being scared of one Cyborg wasn’t enough, we have two to deal with. If you squint really hard, you would think that Zaromskis was Dan Henderson. They literally have the same face. Like that movie with Travolta and Nic Cage. Although, I’m sure Dan is glad they have different faces, since Cyborg almost took Zaromskis’ off with a big right hand. Great 1st round tko victory for Evangelista.But it was weird to see a wife pick her husband up and carry him around the ring. It is 2010 I guess.
This show may set a record for fastest MMA show in history.
