With 43 professional fights under his belt, Gerald Meerschaert has seen a lot in his career— although what happened 48 hours before his next scheduled fight was certainly unexpected.

Meerschaert will face top 15 middleweight Ian Heinisch this Saturday at UFC 250. The event takes place at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas.

Check out this exclusive interview with “GM3,” as he spoke with MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck just hours before the event about the matchup, Heinisch being out of the fight after his coach allegedly had a positive COVID-19 test, signing to fight newcomer Anthony Ivy, Heinisch getting back on the card, if there were any concerns in taking the fight after everything that happened, and more.
