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]
