Gerald Meerschaert III displayed his impressive skills as a submission expert once again in his recent win, capturing the hearts of fans. Despite facing challenges, he emerged victorious against the younger Edmen Shahbazyan.
Shahbazyan initially had a strong start, securing the first round and dominating the beginning of the second. However, Meerschaert quickly shifted the momentum with a strategic combination, takedown, and submission, showcasing his resilience and expertise.
Meerschaert’s remarkable ability to secure victories, even when behind on points, is notable. His proficiency in jiu-jitsu is evident, as he has garnered 11 submission wins, placing him tied for the third-most in UFC history alongside Demian Maia.
Despite not being the most physically gifted fighter, Meerschaert continuously surpasses expectations and sets new records. A potential matchup with Paul Craig awaits, promising an intriguing spectacle that fans would likely appreciate.
While a title shot may not be immediately on the horizon for Meerschaert, his unwavering performance and dedication inside the octagon continue to astound and captivate audiences.
