Gerald Meerschaert knows it’s on him not to leave a fight the judges; doing so doesn’t always work out in your favor. It’s often a recipe for devastation, but there’s nothing you can do about it once the judges award your opponent a narrow — and perhaps controversial — win.
But that’s not to say he’s not a little bitter about his loss to Kevin Holland at UFC Philadelphia in March.
“I still got a chip on my shoulder,” Meerschaert told Bloody Elbow.
The Roufusport product fought to a tough split decision against Holland, a rising middleweight prospect, in a hard-fought bout.
