Can Brandon Girtz get signature win – like the ones inside – against Chandler at Bellator 197?
Brandon Girtz has had some big moments so far in his Bellator career. In two weeks, he could have his biggest moment yet.
Girtz (15-7 MMA, 7-5 BMMA) will step up on short notice to take on former lightweight champion Michael Chandler in the Bellator 197 main event since Brent Primus is out with an injury, keeping Chandler from going after the title he once held.
Bellator 197 will take place April 13 at The Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo., just outside St. Louis. The main card will air on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie. St. Louis is Chandler’s home city, so Girtz will be fighting in hostile territory.
If there’s been a criticism of Girtz in his Bellator career it’s that when he’s up against the biggest names, he comes up short. He’s got impressive wins, which is evidenced by his highlight reel. But his losses have come against the best names he’s faced. He can change all that against Chandler with what would be positively a signature win on his resume.
Ahead of his biggest opportunity yet, check out the best of Brandon Girtz in the video above.
