Ciryl Gane has enlisted kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp ahead of UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable for being the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, which occurred in 2021. By bringing in Vakhitov, Gane appears to be seeking specialized preparation against Pereira's striking style. The move suggests Gane is targeting specific technical insights from someone who has successfully navigated Pereira's offense. This training partnership could provide Gane with valuable strategic advantages heading into his heavyweight title fight.
