This fight is a clash of styles. Gerald Meerschaert has power, but doesn't have strong striking skills, and has lost three of his last five fights, all in UFC action. This includes a first-round submission loss to Jack Hermansson. He faces Ian Heinisch, who is a grinder, making opponents work with an unrelenting style of fighting. Heinisch is the more effective striker (3.38 to 3.32 Significant Strikes Landed per minute), and his defensive stats are better than Meerschaert's (59% to 52% Significant Strikes Defense). Take Ian Heinisch to win the bout.
