A middleweight showdown between highly touted prospect Khamzat Chimaev and Gerald Meerschaert is currently in the works for the upcoming UFC event on Sept. 19.
Multiple sources confirmed the planned pairing to MMA Fighting following an initial report from Combate.
Since making his octagon debut in July, Chimaev has quickly become one of the most talked-about fighters on the entire UFC roster. The Russian born fighter made an impressive debut by tearing through John Phillips in just over a minute into their fight on July 15 before making a quick turn around and doing almost the exact same thing to Rhys McKee 10 days later.
