Khamzat Chimaev believes Gerald Meerschaert is overreacting to his double booking going into UFC on ESPN+ 36. Chimaev (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) is in an extremely rare position in UFC history going into Saturday’s middleweight matchup with Meerschaert (30-13 MMA, 6-5 UFC), which takes place at UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streams on ESPN+. In addition to having this fight lined up, he is also booked to fight Demian Maia in October down at welterweight. Meerschaert has taken disrespect from the situation, feeling that both Chimaev and the UFC brass are counting him out before even stepping in the octagon. Chimaev, however, doesn’t see it as a big deal
