Former UFC fighter Ben Askren had a long battle with pneumonia, but now he’s in a better condition. But when it comes to his former teammate, Gerald Meerschaert, things are looking bad. The middleweight fighter recently suffered his 20th career loss, and third in a row in the UFC, and guess what? Fans don’t really want to see him in the UFC anymore.
Yes, the fans were fuming as Gerald Meerschaert lost in the very first round of his fight against Michal Oleksiejczuk, who knocked him out. Having fought in the UFC for so many years, some fans actually did not realize that he was still contracted with the UFC. On that note, a fan said, “I couldn’t believe the scrub Gerald Meerschaert was still in the UFC. Brutal example of UFC talent on a PPV prelim.”
Furthermore, fans were relentless in letting Ben Askren’s former teammate know that his recent performance did not excite them for even one bit. “Gerald Meerschaert on the short list of never to be bet on again. F—ing pants performance and deserved to be knocked out,” a fan said in that regard.
Flawless performance from Michal Oleksiejczuk
