Ciryl Gane has brought kickboxer Artem Vakhitov into his training camp in preparation for his fight against Alex Pereira at UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable for being the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, a victory that came in 2021. This strategic move suggests Gane is looking to leverage Vakhitov's firsthand experience and success against Pereira to prepare for the upcoming bout. The addition of Vakhitov to the training camp could provide valuable insights into Pereira's fighting style and potential weaknesses. This represents a calculated preparation strategy by Gane ahead of a high-stakes matchup.
