Mixed martial arts career edit

Early career edit

Starting his career in 2015, Golm acquired a 5–0 record fighting around regional Brazilian promotions, winning all the fights by knockout.[4]

Ultimate Fighting Championship edit

Golm made his UFC debut against Christian Colombo on 28 October 2017, at UFC Fight Night: Brunson vs. Machida. He won the fight via submission in the first round.[5]

Golm faced Timothy Johnson on 3 February 2018, at UFC Fight Night 125.[6] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[7]

For his third fight with the promotion, Golm faced Arjan Bhullar on 27 October 2018, at UFC Fight Night 138.[8] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[9] After the fight, Golm became a free agent and eventually re-signed with the UFC.[2]

Golm faced Sergei Pavlovich on 20 April 2019, at UFC Fight Night: Overeem vs. Oleinik.[10] He lost the fight via first-round knockout.[11]

After losing three fights in a row, Golm was released from the UFC.[12]

Post-UFC career edit

After his release, Golm signed with Taura MMA. In his promotional debut he faced DJ Linderman at Taura MMA 11 on 30 October 2020. Golm won the fight via first-round technical knockout.[13]

Golm then faced Brandon Hebert at XMMA 1 on 30 January 2021. He won the fight via second-round submission.[14]

Bellator MMA edit

Golm signed to a multi-fight deal with Bellator MMA.[15]

Golm was expected to make his promotional debut against Linton Vassell on 16 July 2021, at Bellator 262.[16] On 12 July, the bout was scratched after Vassell suffered an injury.[17][18]

Golm was scheduled to face Steve Mowry on 13 August 2021, at Bellator 264.[19] However, on 4 August, it was announced that Mowry was scratched from the bout, with Golm rescheduled to face Kelvin Tiller on 20 August at Bellator 265.[20] The week of the event, Tiller pulled out of the bout and was replaced by promotional newcomer Billy Swanson.[21] Golm won the fight via technical knockout in round one.[22][23]

Golm faced Davion Franklin on July 22, 2022, at Bellator 283.[24] He won the bout via rear-naked choke at the end of the third round.[25]

Golm faced Daniel James on March 31, 2023, at Bellator 293.[26] He lost the fight via technical knockout in the third round.[27]

Golm was scheduled to face Tyrell Fortune on November 17, 2023 at Bellator 301.[28] Despite both men weighing in, the bout was cancelled the night of the event after Fourtune became ill backstage.[29]

PFL edit

Golm debuted with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) at PFL 1 on April 4, 2024 and lost the bout in a rematch against Daniel James by technical knockout at the end of the first round.[30][31] James missed weight, so he was fined a percentage of his purse and given a point deduction in the standings.[32]
