Golm and James squared off approximately a year ago at Bellator
293, where the Brazilian suffered a third-round TKO loss to his
American opponent. Golm, who also went 1-3 during a UFC stint from
2017 to 2019, had won four straight contests before falling to
James.
James, meanwhile, has competed once since facing Golm the first
time, as he dropped a three-round verdict to Gokhan
Saricam at Bellator 297 last June. The 42-year-old Chicago
native has finished 10 of his 14 professional victories via KO or
TKO.
