A middleweight matchup is the latest addition to UFC 250.
Ian Heinisch (13-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) will take on Gerald Meerschaert (31-12 MMA, 6-4 UFC) next month. MMA Junkie confirmed the matchup after an initial report from Combate.
UFC 250 takes place June 6. It does not have an official location or venue, though the UFC Apex in Las Vegas is possible, pending the resumption of combat sports in the state of Nevada. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims likely on ESPN and ESPN+.
After winning his first two UFC bouts, the Dana White’s Contender Series alum Heinisch, has dropped two in a row to Derek Brunson and Omari Akhmedov. He recently revealed he signed a new four-fight deal with the UFC.
Meerschaert is coming off a third-round submission over Deron Winn at UFC 248 in March. Although he’s alternated wins and losses since joining the roster, he has finished all five of his UFC wins.
The latest UFC 250 lineup now includes:
- Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer – for women’s featherweight title
- Raphael Assuncao vs. Cody Garbrandt
- Jussier Formiga vs. Alex Perez
- Ian Heinisch vs. Gerald Meerschaert
