Mark Brill The Thrill Pick's for Strikeforce
Nick
Diaz vs Marius Zaromskis- I believe Nick Diaz is at the top
of his game. He only ever looses by decision. But he is on a
roll. Marius is a very strong dynamic fighter who could be
Diaz's toughest challenge yet. My concern on this is Diaz does
do allot of up and down weight limits. But other than that I see
Diaz winning this fight by submission. Don't know the round.
Since there are 5 but Diaz will win this fight. Read
