Due to his opponent falling out, Gerald Meerschaert will be making the jump in weight up from middleweight to light heavyweight in order to take on Ed Herman at the UFC’s event on August 1st.

Meerschaert is looking to get back into the win column after his knockout loss to Ian Heinisch at UFC 250 earlier this year. Herman is coming off a two-fight winning streak with his last victory over Khadis Ibragimov in December of last year.

The match up is set to join the UFC’s August 1st event to be headlined by middleweights Derek Brunson and Edmen Shahbazyan.

A fight that has been rescheduled multiple times will finally go down seeing up and coming prospect Shahbazyan showcase his ability against the UFC veteran Derek Brunson. Since losing to the now middleweight champion Israel Adesanya in November of 2018, Bruson has put together a winning streak taking out two of the UFC’s most promising prospects Ian Heinisch and Elias Theodorou. Shahbazyan who has found finishes in all three of his UFC fights so far will look to continue this streak and cement himself further into the elite within the middleweight division.

In the co-main event of the evening, there will be a match-up between ranked welterweight Vincente Luque and the always exciting Randy Brown. Luque who is coming off a victory over Niko Price earlier this year will be attempting to maintain his ranking by ending Randy Brown’s two fight win streak he accumulated over 2019.

The only other currently confirmed match-up for this card is a matchup between top women’s flyweight contenders Joanne Calderwood and Jennifer Maia.

Taking this fight on short notice, Calderwood had been sitting out awaiting her previously scheduled title fight with Valentina Schevchenko before deciding to take this match-up against Maia with all signs pointing at the winner of this getting the next shot at the title.

The UFC has landed in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada for Fight Night 138. The Canadian fans are in for a treat with a solid six-fight main card.

Before Volkan Oezdemir takes on rising light heavyweight prospect Anthony Smith in the main event, 10 other fighters will make their walk to the Octagon.

A light heavyweight showdown pitting two well-respected fighters against each other for the right to stay relevant in the 205-pound division will be the second offering on the main card.

Gian Villante has lost three of his last four fights heading into UFC Moncton. At one point, Villante was ranked in the top 10 of the division. A win is of paramount importance for the proud New Yorker.

Like Villante, Ed Herman has lost three of his last four fights. Herman has been a staple in the UFC dating back to his run on season 3 of The Ultimate Fighter. A win over Villante would be a step in the right direction for the 38-year-old.

Round One

Villante takes the center of the Octagon as both men waste no time throwing absolute haymakers at one another. Albeit more punches are hitting air than their actual targets. Neither man expressing much interest in defense instead opting for the headhunting game plan. Villante catches Herman and closes in but Herman recovers quick and the last minute of the round is still anyone’s for the taking. Herman seems to be just a split second slower than Villante in these exchanges. The bell sounds.

Round Two

Villante catches Herman with a lead left hook as Herman was walking in. Villante chases a bit and Herman connects with a nice knee straight down the middle. Herman chasing now and lands a sharp jab that cuts Villante. He follows with a lead left hook. Herman starts throwing leg kicks the last two minutes of the round. Villante times a nice overhand right and slips a counter. Both guys still winging some incredibly wild punches. Villante connects as the round ends.

Round Three

Villante picking up where he left off to end round two. He immediately starts winging shots and pushing forward. Herman seems to have the faster reaction time here in the final frame but I think he might be down on the scorecards. Halfway through the last round and there has been very little action comparatively speaking. Villante shrugs off a weak takedown attempt by Herman. Villante goes for the takedown, Herman defends and lands some dirty boxing. Another close round, I think Herman takes this round.

Gian Villante defeats Ed Herman via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)
