- Takedown Defended: 0
He doesn’t have the prettiest record on the UFC roster but, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black belt and kickboxing Black belt Gerald ‘GM3’ Meerschaert will be hunting for his twenty-third submission victory this weekend in Vegas.
GM3 holds one of the most dangerous ground games in the UFC Middleweight division and usually looks to capitalize on said skill throughout the majority of his contests. That said, he’s also a proficient Black belt in kickboxing and walks around with a huge reach advantage. He will enter this contest with a 5-4 record in the UFC but we should note that his four losses have come up against some of the division’s best (Thiago Santos, Jack Hermansson).
Deron Winn
- Age: 30
- Nationality: China
- Record: 6-1-0
- Height: 5ft 6”
- Reach: 70”
- Gym: American Kickboxing Academy
- Notable Gym Members: Khabib Nurmagomedov, Daniel Cormier & Cain Velasquez
- Current Streak: 4 wins
- Wins by KO/TKO: 4
- Wins by Submission: 0
- Decision wins: 2
- Significant Strikes (UFC)
- Landed Per Min: 2.73
- Accuracy: 42%
- Defense: 52%
- Grappling (UFC)
- Takedown Average: 2.56
- Takedown Accuracy: 41%
- Takedown Defended: 46%
Rising (UFC) middleweight prospect ‘Deron Winn’ is no stranger to combat sports. High-School wrestling state champion, two-time junior college champion and three-time all American at University, the resume isn’t too shabby for the American Kick-Boxing Academy hopeful.
Winn has the strongest base in mixed martial arts covered, his wrestling. With the reach advantage obvious, finding his way inside of his challenger’s distance hasn’t been a problem for Winn. The potential for greatness is there, Winn has to piece together the puzzle in order to take over the game.
At the end of the day
A clear disadvantage for Winn is going to be the height and reach of GM3. The aggression paired with his wrestling offense might not be enough to make up for that lack in size.
I can’t agree with the current line. +125 on the more seasoned fighter is screaming “value”, in my humble opinion.
I have no fear in placing a half unit wager on the juicy +125 we can grab GM3 at. Remember to find the best odds using SBROdds, finding value will dramatically affect your long-term betting investment.

Giga Chikadze vs. Jamall Emmers
Featherweight Bout
Saturday, March 07, 2020 – 06:35 PM EST
Opening Line: Jamall Emmers -165 at BetOnline
Giga Chikadze
- Age: 31
- Nationality: Georgian
- Record: 8-2-0
- Height: 6ft 0.5”
- Reach: 74”
- Current Streak: 3 wins
- Gym: Kings MMA Anaheim
- Notable Gym Members: N/A
- Wins by KO/TKO: 5
- Wins by Submission: 2
- Decision wins: 1
- Significant Strikes (UFC)
- Landed Per Min: 3.33
- Accuracy: 52%
- Defense: 52%
- Grappling (UFC)
- Takedown Average: 0.51
- Takedown Accuracy: 32%
- Takedown Defended: 56%
Giga will be hoping that his opponent will want to test his kickboxing skills In their early preliminary contest at UFC 248.
The former K1 world champion (x2), Karate world champion and European Muay Thai champion will hold a strong offensive striking skill-set. Giga failed in his attempt on ‘Dana White Contender Series’ but ignoring his quality would be stupid.
Jamall Emmers
- Age: 28
- Nationality: England
- Record: 11-1-0
- Height: 6ft 3”
- Reach: 73.5”
- Gym: UTC Birmingham
- Notable Gym Members: N/A
- Current Streak: 1 win
- Wins by KO/TKO: 4
- Wins by Submission: 6
- Decision wins: 1
- Significant Strikes (UFC)
- Landed Per Min: 3.85
- Accuracy: 49%
- Defense: 65%
- Grappling (UFC)
- Takedown Average: 0
- Takedown Accuracy: 0%
- Takedown Defended: 72%
With his wrestling/kickboxing base, Emmers will make his long-awaited UFC debut this weekend at UFC 248.
He made an attempt at UFC glory in the past but, was unfortunately knocked out in his ‘Dana White Contender Series’ opportunity. Since that loss, he’s gone on to win his previous four fights, all of them inside the distance.
At the end of the day
I think, so long as Giga can avoid a grappling battle throughout the three, five-minute rounds he’ll have a great time standing. Taking a look at his past fights, another strong grappler in Brandon Davis was able to take Giga down but was unable to keep him there. This eventually led to Giga stealing the split decision with his striking output.
In my opinion, Giga has already tackled a grappler in the UFC and his opponent will be making his UFC debut. Making a betting prediction for this one isn’t an easy one. That is until you take a glance at the odds available. Time and time again, you’ll hear me complain about debutant UFC fighters entering the contest as the bookmakers favorite. It’s absurd…
We’ll see an elite striker versus a wrestler with kickboxing. I’ll side with the plus money, striking champion across multiple combat sports and most importantly, the fighter who’s already experienced life under the bright lights of the UFC.
UFC 248 Prediction: Giga Chikadze to win +145 at 5Dimes
