Marcelo Golm vs. Kelvin Tiller targeted for Bellator 264 with Steve Mowry out

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.

TIller (11-5) competed in the PFL heavyweight division in 2018 and 2019, scoring stoppage wins over Jared Rosholt, Caio Alencar and Mo DeReese during his 3-4 run in the company. “The Mama’s Boy” hasn’t fought since 2019, when he lost a trilogy bout with Rosholt via decision.

Bellator 264 will air live on Showtime from the Mohegan Sun Arena and features Gegard Mousasi’s defense of the middleweight throne against John Salter, while former 170-pound champion Andrey Koreshkov returns to battle Sabah Homasi in the co-main event.
