Gerald Meerschaert potentially saved his UFC career with a win over Trevin Giles at UFC Newark earlier this month.
Meerschaert entered his middleweight bout with Giles — the last fight on his contract — on a two-fight skid, which included a loss to current top contender Jack Hermansson and a controversial decision to Kevin Holland. “GM3” was very aware that three losses in a row is usually the recipe for a pink slip, and having only one fight left on his contract certainly wouldn’t help. So he did everything he could to get the job done against Giles.
