Talk about all action. Both guys decided to just throw punches instead of defending anything, and Diaz won the war. It was a good win for Diaz, who doesn’t exactly have a lot of contenders at his weight. On the bright side, we’ll see a few more interviews with Ariel Helwani. Jay Hieron is next (maybe), and while I’d take Diaz in that fight, he’ll be the first guy in a while looking to take Diaz down.
The first round started with pure fireworks. The two exchanged flurry after flurry. Both men landed before Diaz went into the clinch and started landing knees to the leg. Coming out of the clinch, it looked like Marius was in big trouble, but then he dropped Diaz! Zaromskis was not able to follow up, Diaz survived, and then came back to finish the fight with a great flurry of punches.
