A quick look at Marcelo Golm’s social media makes it clear that the Brazilian heavyweight had some high-level training partners for his UFC Moncton fight with Arjan Bhullar, but moving full-time to Florida wasn’t supposed to be in his short-term plans.
Golm first made his big league debut in October 2017 with a short-notice opportunity against Christian Colombo at a UFC Sao Paulo event. An undefeated talent who at the time was bringing a perfect 5-0 record to his Octagon debut, Golm made quick work of his opponent with a first-round submission finish.
