Promotion officials recently announced the change. UFC Fight Night takes place at the Times Union Center and is headlined by a heavyweight duel between Derrick Lewis and Shamil Abdurakhimov. The card airs in its entirety on UFC Fight Pass.

A 32-fight veteran, Meerschaert enters his first promotional foray on a five-bout winning streak. “The Machine” last appeared at Resurrection Alliance Fighting 45, where he submitted Chase Waldon in the opening stanza. The Roufusport representative is 24-8 over the course of his career, including a notable win over current UFC talent Sam Alvey.

Gigliotti, meanwhile, suffered his first defeat in his Octagon debut at UFC Fight Night 92, dropping a unanimous verdict against Trevor Smith in Salt Lake City. Prior to that, the 23-year-old Arizonan was undefeated in seven professional outings.
