MMA: GIRTZ RETURNS TO BELLATOR TOMORROW

December 8, 2017 Jesse Kelley Off MN MMA NEWS, OUR LATEST FEATURE STORIES,

Bellator veteran Brandon Girtz will be featured once again in tomorrow nights co-main event live on Spike TV. The Minnesota powerhouse Girtz is in Italy where he will face Luka Jelcic in a lightweight bout. Last time out, Girtz (14-7) lost by doctor stoppage after suffering a gruesome cut on his forehead against Derek Campos at Bellator 181. The former All American wrestler was doing well in the bout and did not agree with the fight being stopped. And neither did fans. He has a chance to get back in the win column though against Jelcic despite being in his opponents home country. Both fighters made weight earlier today and you can catch the action live tomorrow night on Spike TV with the telecast set to begin at 7PM Central time.

Girtz and Jelcic face off earlier today in Italy. The two will meet tomorrow night on Spike TV.
