Marius Zaromskis vs. Waachiim Spiritwolf rematch added to Bellator 68

A welterweight rematch between DREAM champion Marius Zaromskis (16-6 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Waachiim Spiritwolf (9-9-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC) will be part of next month's Bellator 68 event.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) confirmed the bout with event sources.

The fight marks the promotional debut of Zaromskis, who signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator earlier this year.

Bellator 68 takes place May 11 at Palladium Ballroom in Caesars Atlantic City in New Jersey. The night's main card airs on MTV2, and Spike.com carries the prelims.

Zaromskis vs. Spiritwolf likely will be part of the televised lineup. The fighters first met in late 2010 at Strikeforce Challengers 12, where the bout ended after just six seconds when Spiritwolf suffered an accidental eye poke and couldn't continue.

Zaromskis, who won the 2009 DREAM world welterweight grand prix to become the Japanese-based promotion's first champ in the weight class, has defended his belt just once in three years. The 31-year-old Lithuanian, who went 0-2 (with one no-contest) with Strikeforce in 2010, is on a current 3-1 run. Most recently, Zaromskis scored a flashy somersault-kick knockout of Bruno Carvalho at a November regional event in Sweden. It was his 12th knockout in 16 career wins.

The California-based Spiritwolf has competed with organizations such as KOTC, Strikeforce and Tachi Palace Fights during his six-year career. Currently, though, he's stuck in a 1-4 skid that included recent defeats to Jorge Lopez and Michael Madrid. The lone victory came in his Bellator debut, when he earned a split-decision victory over Jaime Jara at Bellator 35.
