Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov into his training camp as he prepares for UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable for being the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, having done so in 2021. Gane will face Pereira at the upcoming event. The French heavyweight is seeking specialized striking expertise from someone with direct experience against his opponent. Vakhitov's inclusion suggests Gane is studying Pereira's vulnerabilities from his kickboxing career.
