Strikeforce Picks Nick Diaz vs Marius Zaromskis – Welterweight championship bout - Diaz (20-7-1, 11 KOs) is the favorite in your with MMA odds of -270 after winning his first matches in Strikeforce against sportsbookFrank Shamrock and Scott Smith, and he’s a very well-rounded fighter. Diaz, like his brother Nate who fights in the UFC, is known for his striking as he is also a boxer, but he also has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Zaromskis (13-3, 11 KOs) is from Lithuania, and he has a background in kickboxing and wrestling. Zaromskis has won his last two fights with head kicks, and he was the DREAM welterweight champion as well. Nick Diaz will have to be very cautious to not walk into the power of Zaromskis, and with his versatile game, he should be able to do so. Strikeforce Predictions Bet MMA: Nick Diaz -270

Strikeforce Picks , Strikeforce Predictions Cristiane Santos vs Marloes Coenen – Women’s lightweight championship bout “Cyborg” Santos (8-1, six KOs), from Brazil, is the favorite according to US sportsbook odds (US sportsbook review) at a massive MMA Odds -600, and he made short work of Gina Carano back in August, pummeling her opponent until the fight was finally stopped with one second left in the first round. Coenen (17-3, three KOs), a native of the Netherlands, is a submission specialist who was due to have a rematch with Erin Toughill, who had beaten Coenen in a previous fight, for the right to fight Santos.  Toughill had a medical condition, so Coenen then beat Roxanne Modafferi, who had defeated Coenen in the final of K-Grace tournament in 2007. Coenen will do her best to take this fight to the ground, and she needs to stay inside of Santos to offset Cyborg’s incredible power. We’ve already seen what she can do when she finds the range on her striking, as she just teed off on Carano. And if Coenen can even get this fight to the mat, does she have the power to get leverage on Santos? We think not. Glen McNeil Bet MMA: Cristiane “Cyborg” Strikeforce Lines Santos -600
