Diaz, Cyborg, Walker Win at Strikeforce

SUNRISE, Fla. – Nick Diaz captured the vacant Strikeforce welterweight championship in dramatic fashion Saturday at the BankAtlantic Center in the Strikeforce “Miami” main event, which drew 8,156 attendees, according to the promotion. He rose from an early knockdown and stopped Lithuanian striker Marius Zaromskis with a short right hook in the Strikeforce “Miami” main event.

Zaromskis, the reigning Dream champion, succumbed 4:38 into round one, as Diaz posted his sixth consecutive victory.

Diaz used his length to keep Zaromskis on the end of his punches but found himself on the wrong end of a clubbing right hand that put him on his seat midway through the first frame.
