Sherdog Pros Pick Goes 20-0 In Favor Of Nick Diaz, Setting Up A Knockout Victory For Marius Zaromskis

Sherdog’s Pros Pick is a feature that polls the minds of fighters in anticipation of the weekend’s upcoming MMA event. This week, the focus is obviously on the big Strikeforce card in Miami. And in the main event, Nick Diaz, everyone’s favorite Californian ruffian, will be taking on largely unknown Lithuanian striker Marius Zaromskis.

↵Now generally, not a lot of credence is given to these picks, as some of the fighters polled happen to be training partners with one of the guys in the fight, or hold some sort of a grudge against the other. But when such a decisive outcome is the result, as is the case here, one must ponder the rationale that brought us to this conclusion.

↵While I happen to disagree with every single one of the fighters polled, (“The Whitemare” puts Diaz to sleep early. Bet) I must admit their analysis for the match up is pretty convincing. Let’s have a look:

↵First up, we have Michael “The Joker” Guymon.

↵↵Diaz takes this one by annoying his opponent to death.

↵↵That’s actually a very plausible outcome.

↵Next we have Din Thomas, whose predicition is hard to argue with.

↵↵I got Nick Diaz by Stockton gang signs beoootch!

↵↵Duke Roufus makes another compelling argument for Diaz.

↵↵Nick Diaz by mean mug, b--ch!

↵↵But the fighter that really nailed the prediction in my opinion was Robin Black. Check it out.

↵↵I would put some money on Zaromskis for the upset, but, frankly, Diaz scares the s--t out of me. He might hunt down everyone who bets against him and cut them all. I don’t want to get cut. Especially in the face. No, I’ll just go with Diaz.

↵↵You know what, he’s right. I got Diaz via stoppage due to opponent’s eardrum damage caused by excessive jawing.
