Marcelo Golm has a new opponent for his Bellator debut on Aug. 13.
The UFC veteran was originally scheduled to face undefeated Steve Mowry at Bellator 264 in Uncasville, Conn., but Kelvin Tiller has agreed to step in as a replacement after Mowry withdrawal due to undisclosed reasons, multiple people with knowledge of the change told MMA Fighting.
MMAjunkie first reported Mowry’s withdrawal.
Heavyweight Golm (8-3) attempts to finally make his Bellator debut after a cancelled bout with Linton Vassell in July. The Brazilian heavyweight, who went 1-3 in the octagon between 2017 and 2019, scored back-to-back finishes in Florida to ink a deal with Bellator.
