Bellator 293: Marcelo Golm ‘Happy’ For Main Event Spot

Marcelo Golm is ready to hit the cage at Bellator 293.

Golm, a top contender in the heavyweight division, meets Daniel James on Friday night. The main card airs live on Showtime from the Pechanga Resort Casino in California.

For the Brazilian, he has scored plenty of finishes among his 10 career wins. And he knows that James will be going for the same.

“I’m very happy, man. My first main event,” Golm said. “I’m so excited for my first main event. I finish my fights. 10 fights, 10 finishes. Bellator likes this. I like this. More media. I don’t speak good English, but I like this.”

Combined, the two have recorded 24 stoppage wins among their 25 victories.

“He’s strong. Good boxing. He’s a good fighter. I’m very excited for this match,” Golm said. “I am ready to be a champion. I am ready for main event status. I am ready for anything Bellator throws at me. I have this fight first. I put my attention in this fight. After this fight, maybe Steve Mowry. He’s No. 3, I’m No. 5; why not?”
