UFC middleweight Gerald Meerschaert returns to the Octagon on Saturday night when the promotion heads to Pechanga Arena in San Diego for UFC Fight Night: Vera vs. Cruz. In the main event of the evening, former two-time bantamweight world champion Dominick Cruz returns to face No. 5 ranked contender Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera.
Opening the evening’s main card will be ‘GM3’ as he meets Bruno Silva. With both fighters having their winning streaks halted in their last outings, Meerschaert and Silva will look to get back into the win column and potentially break into the division’s top 15 rankings.
In an exclusive interview with LowKick MMA, Gerald Meerschaert discussed his brilliant run in 2021 where he rattled off three straight victories. During the conversation, talk turned to American fans and the belief that those fans don’t typically support American-born fighters the same way they appear to support those hailing from a foreign country.
“I think there’s probably a lot of things. I think one thing would be definitely oversaturation of the market so to speak. Even in the UFC, it’s an American-based company so most are from here, and you know, America is still a pretty big center worldwide for culture and exporting culture and stuff like that. Nobody wants to root [for] the big kid on the block. So it’s like if you come from the U.S. we have a lot of opportunities and things that maybe other people don’t have.
“Basically, why are you gonna root for the spoiled rich kid, you know what I mean? But then you come from somewhere else, I think there’s another side of that too where if there’s not as many fighters from where you’re from, or they’re just much more feverishly into sports like that, they’re gonna get behind their own. The only things in America that people really get into like that right now are football and baseball. And even then, you kinda gotta be a big deal, but we just don’t have that same fan base for other sports, especially combat sports.”
Following a tumultuous 2020 where he lost two out of three bouts, including a 17-second knockout against welterweight star Khamzat Chimaev, Gerald Meerschaert is intent on regaining some of the moment that he got from his spectacular 2021 run. Bouncing back from a rough patch in the wake of COVID-19, ‘GM3’ would go on to score three straight wins against Bartosz Fabi?ski, Makhmud Muradov and Dustin Stoltzfus. All three victories came by way of submission.
Hoping to carry that momentum into 2022, Gerald Meerschaert’s streak was halted by Krzysztof Jotko who defeated ‘GM3’ in April. Meerschaert is ready to get back to his winning ways, but he’ll have a tough test against Brazilian opponent Bruno Silva.
Silva’s seven-fight win streak was snapped by the man to knock out Israel Adesanya in combat sports, Alex Pereira. While Silva lasted the full 15 minutes, he was unable to match the power and precision of Pereira. Now ‘Blindado’ is ready to get his hand raised on Saturday night at the expense of submission machine Gerald Meerschaert.

Despite losing the co-main event just hours before, UFC Vegas 24 delivered some impressive performances from the fighters at the UFC Apex. Middleweight Gerald Meerschaert and bantamweight Tony Gravely were among those who earned an extra $50,000 for their efforts in the octagon. Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum also earned themselves an extra bag of cash.
Performance of the Night: Gerald Meerschaert
Meerschaert turned in a phenomenal submission win over Bartosz Fabinski in the first-round, in his first apperance since falling to Khamzat Chimaev last September. It was a relatively easy night of work for the Wisconsin native who became the submission wins leader in UFC middleweight history. After taking a few early shots on the feet, Meerschaert quickly took the fight to the ground against the cage, sinking in a tight guillotine choke that put Fabinski to sleep halfway through the opening round.
Performance of the Night: Tony Gravely
Gravely came into the night as a rising bantamweight prospect in the stacked men’s 135-pound division. Both Gravely and opponent Anthony Birchak began a standup war in the middle of the octagon from the get-go. After a highly-entertaining opening round, Gravely didn’t let up in Round 2; countering a low-calf kick from Birchak with a stiff jab that knocked him out cold. The “Dana White’s Contender Series” alumni has proven to be a legit prospect and has now won two of his first three fights in the UFC.
Fight of the Night: Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Last but not least, the main event between top middleweights Robert Whittaker and Kelvin Gastelum didn’t disappoint fans. Whittaker turned in arguably one of the best performances of his career against Gastelum, one of the toughest competitors in the division. “The Reaper” used his range on the feet to overwhelm the smaller Gastelum, who had his own moments in the striking department. Whittaker was able to utilize a few takedowns as well and completely dominated the fight, coasting to a unanimous decision victory (50-45 x 3).
Next for Whittaker is more than likely a rematch with middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, who is coming off a light-heavyweight title loss to Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259.

‘GM3’ squared off against Chimaev last month on the undercard of Colby Covington vs. Tyron Woodley. Meerschaert was somewhat fancied heading into the fight in what appeared to be the toughest fight of Chimaev’s short career.
On the night things didn’t go to plan for Meerschaert. Just 17 seconds into the fight Chimaev uncorked his first punch and it knocked the middleweight veteran out. The win earned Chimaev a headline spot for his next fight against #3 welterweight Leon Edwards on December 19.
In an interview with TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter, Meerschart remained adamant that he has what it takes to beat Chimaev and insisted he would do “whatever it takes” to secure a rematch.
“I genuinely don’t like that guy. I can’t exactly put my finger on it, just the way he carries himself. He doesn’t, I don’t know, there’s something that I don’t like. I don’t think he likes me either. And I think part of the reason I don’t like him is because he was acting like I said something disrespectful towards him. I don’t know if it’s because people were interpreting what I said to him incorrectly or something,” Meerschaert said.
“But the whole time I was like, I said he was good, I said I expected him to come forward and do all this other stuff. The only thing I said was that he was overlooking me and that he was going to face resistance and I didn’t hold up my end of the bargain on that, that’s 100 percent on me. I said something and I didn’t do it. And not only that, but me not liking the guy, that leaves a real bad taste in my mouth, and I’m going to do whatever it takes as far as stringing wins together to get back at that guy. If he wants to keep sitting up there and saying no one wants to fight me, eventually he’s going to run in that spot again, and I’ll be sitting there waiting for him.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)

The Stockholm native improves to 3-0 in the promotion, following prior wins over John Phillips, and Rhys McKee, both coming a staggering ten-days apart in July on ‘Fight Island’. Landing his first attempted strike of the night, Chimaev walked Meerschaert onto a straight right hand, scoring a massive shot, before following up with ground-and-pound.
Below, check out Chimaev’s staggering seventeen-second knockout triumph over Meerschaert.
