Gerald Meerschaert continues to prove he is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world on the mat. The final preliminary bout of UFC Fight Night 199 was a grueling fight between Meerschaert (34-14 MMA, 9-6 UFC) and Dustin Stoltzfus(13-4 MMA, 0-3 UFC). It was a wild contest filled with multiple scrambles on the mat. Stoltzfus found success on the feet with crisp striking and a controlled few advantageous positions when the fight hit the ground, doing more than enough in the first two rounds to earn the judges’ favor. However, when it was time to pull out a win in the closing frame, Meerschaert found his way to Stoltzfus’ back and locked in a deep rear-naked choke, forcing his opponent to tap out or go to sleep.
