Ciryl Gane has enlisted kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for UFC White House. Vakhitov holds the distinction of being the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, having done so in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is seeking specific insights and sparring experience from someone with direct knowledge of Pereira's striking style. The heavyweight contender is clearly taking a targeted approach to his preparation for the high-profile bout. Vakhitov's presence may provide valuable tactical information as Gane prepares for one of the most dangerous strikers in MMA.
