When the Japanese-based DREAM organization kicked off its welterweight
grand prix to determine the organization’s first-ever welterweight
champion, Lithuanian striker Marius Zaromskis (11-2) wasn’t considered much of a threat.
When Zaromskis earned an exciting unanimous-decision win at DREAM.8, few took notice.
But with a highlight-reel high-kick knockout of Jason High (8-2) and a similarly styled win over tournament favorite Hayato “Mach” Sakurai (35-9-2) in one evening, Monday’s DREAM.10 event from the Saitama Super
Arena in Saitama, Japan, undoubtedly brought Zaromskis not only DREAM’s
welterweight title, but also the attention of mixed martial arts fans
around the world.
