Unlikely heavyweight contenders will lock horns under the Bellator MMA marquee when Marcelo Golm faces Daniel James in the Bellator 293 main event on Friday at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California. They are part of a growing line that has formed behind current champion Ryan Bader.
Golm steps into the cage on the strength of a four-fight winning streak. The American Top Team export last appeared on July 22, when he put away Davion Franklin with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their Bellator 283 pairing.
