Ciryl Gane has brought in kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp ahead of a scheduled bout at UFC White House, presumably against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is notable as the last fighter to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, having beaten him in 2021. By recruiting Vakhitov, Gane is tapping into experience from someone who has successfully solved Pereira's striking puzzle in the past. The move signals Gane is taking a highly strategic approach to preparing for the former kickboxing champion turned UFC star. Details on the exact date or event status are not provided in the original post.
