Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp as he prepares for his bout at UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, a victory that came in 2021. By bringing in Vakhitov, Gane is seeking specialized striking expertise, particularly relevant if his opponent is Pereira or another high-level striker. The move underscores Gane's strategic approach to preparation and his willingness to tap into elite kickboxing talent. Details on the length and intensity of Vakhitov's involvement are not specified in the post.
