Davion Franklin credits Marcelo Golm loss for his biggest lesson ahead of Bellator 300

SAN DIEGO – Davion Franklin didn’t want to lose to Marcelo Golm – of course.

But in a classic situation of a fighter learning more from a loss than a win, Franklin said he figured out that he wasn’t ready to stop learning yet when he had his first setback. He rebounded from that Golm loss earlier this year, and nnow he wants to get another streak going against a fellow prospect, Slim Trabelsi.

Franklin talked about those things and more at Thursday’s Bellator 300 media day in San Diego.

Check out the full interview in the video above. Bellator 300 takes place Saturday at Pechanga Arena in San Diego. The main card, which features three title fights, airs on Showtime following prelims on MMA Junkie.
