Marcelo Golm has new opponent for Bellator 265

Marcelo Golm has his third different opponent for Bellator 265, which goes down Friday night in Sioux Falls, S.D.

The UFC veteran, who was originally scheduled to face Steve Mowry and then agreed to take on replacement Kelvin Tiller, will now throw hands with Billy Swanson, who steps in after Tiller was forced out due to undisclosed reasons just days before the event, promotion officials told MMA Fighting.

Golm vs. Swanson will be featured in the the main card portion of Bellator 265, which airs live on Showtime. Heavyweight veterans Cheick Kongo and Sergei Kharitonov battle in the headlining attraction.
