Meerschaert Stuns Wheeler at Valor Fights 36
Roufusport fighter Gerald Meerschaert derails Sid Wheeler via submission at Valor Fights 36
Valor Fights 36 was hosted in the Gatlinburg Convention Center in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in front of a crowd of fans who were treated to a night of fantastic fights and a shocking main event.
In the headline bout, the undefeated middleweight prospect Sid Wheeler (5-0) took on Roufusport veteran Gerald Meerschaert (22-8) in a 200-pound catchweight bout.
Wheeler started the fight well and looked to be controlling the action in the open exchanges on the feet.
After around thirty seconds the fight got taken to the mat and from there, the crafty veteran Meerschaert took control. After a brief scramble, Meerschaert took Wheeler's back and attempted to lock in a rear-naked choke. After failing to get his arm fully under the chin of Wheeler, Meerschaert transitioned into a kimura and this was the beginning of the end.
Wheeler attempted to fight out of the kimura bravely but it was just too deep and Meerschaert hyperextended his arm into a very uncomfortable looking position.
After bravely fighting it for as long as he could, Wheeler tapped and Meerschaert scored the upset victory and handed Wheeler the first loss of his professional career.
