Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for his upcoming fight at UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, with that victory coming in 2021. By bringing in Vakhitov, Gane is seeking specialized preparation against Pereira's striking style. The move suggests Gane is targeting specific aspects of Pereira's game that Vakhitov successfully exploited. This training partnership could provide Gane with valuable insights into defeating the current champion.
