According to MMA Fighting the UFC is working on rebooking Gerald Meerschaert vs. Ed Herman for their event scheduled to take place on September 12. The middleweight clash was originally booked for UFC Vegas 5, which took place on August 1st.
Meerschaert was one of a number of fighters pulled from UFC Vegas 5 both in the days leading up to and during the event itself. His fight with Herman was canceled just hours before the show began at the UFC’s APEX facility.
The reason for the cancellation: Meerschaert tested positive COVID-19.
