Brazilian Marcelo Golm, who represents the Corinthians MMA team, was called up at the last minute and will face Timothy Johnson at UFC Belém on February 3rd. The heavyweight replaces compatriot Luis Henrique KLB, who suffered a biceps injury, will need surgery and was removed from the Ultimate debut in the North of Brazil.

Golm has one fight and one win in the UFC and is undefeated in his career, with six wins in six fights. He made his debut at the event under similar circumstances. Against Christian Colombo, the Brazilian replaced Carlos “Boi”, who was caught in an anti-doping test at the last minute. The Corinthians fighter took advantage of the opportunity and knocked out the Danish Colombo in the first round of the duel, which took place in UFC Sao Paulo, last October. Johnson is coming off a defeat to another Brazilian. Júnior “Baby” Albini knocked out the North American in the first round – at the time Albini was making his Ultimate debut. Timothy Johnson has 11 wins and four setbacks in his professional career.

UFC Belém, therefore, has three fights scheduled again. In addition to Golm x Johnson, Ultimate has already announced a duel between middleweights Thiago Marreta and Anthony Smity, in addition to the combat between the “God of War” Deiveson Figueiredo and Joseph Morales, valid in the flyweight category.
