Gerald "GM3" Meerschaert is a 38-year-old American veteran out of Milwaukee training at Roufusport, a submission specialist with 11 UFC submission wins — one of only five fighters in UFC history to reach double digits there — on top of 29 submission wins across his full MMA career. He has dropped five straight at middleweight, most recently a decision loss to Jacob Malkoun in May 2026, and now moves up to light heavyweight to face fellow finisher Julius Walker in a bout that likely decides which man keeps his roster spot.
