Minnesota transplant Brandon Girtz estimates that his arrival at Grudge Training Center in Denver came about a month or two after Melvin Guillard skipped town.
That near-miss doesn’t matter now, as Girtz will get an up-close-and-personal look at his would-be training partner at Bellator 141, when he meets “The Young Assassin” in the evening’s headliner at Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif on Friday night. The nomadic Guillard, who has called Grudge, Jackson-Wink MMA and American Top Team home while competing for the UFC and World Series of Fighting in recent years, will be making his debut with the Scott Coker-led promotion.
