Gallery Kevin Holland def. Gerald Meerschaert at UFC Philadelphia: Best photos Kevin Holland and Gerald Meerschaert went back and forth over three rounds, trading submission attempts with abandon in an often sloppy grappling match.

The middleweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC on ESPN 2 event at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
