Ciryl Gane recruits Artem Vakhitov for Alex Pereira training camp

Ciryl Gane has brought kickboxer Artem Vakhitov into his training camp as he prepares to face Alex Pereira at UFC White House. Vakhitov holds a significant distinction in Pereira's combat sports history—he is the last man to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, scoring that victory in 2021. Gane is strategically leveraging Vakhitov's experience and familiarity with Pereira's style to gain insights for the upcoming heavyweight title fight. This marks a tactical preparation move as Gane seeks any advantage against the dangerous former two-division UFC champion.
