Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp ahead of his upcoming bout against Alex Pereira at UFC White House. Vakhitov is the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, having done so in 2021. By bringing in Vakhitov, Gane appears to be seeking specific preparation for Pereira's striking style. The move signals Gane's focus on replicating the approach that once troubled the current champion. Details on the length and scope of Vakhitov's involvement in the camp were not provided.
