Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp ahead of UFC White House. Vakhitov is notably the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, having won their bout in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is seeking specialized insight into Pereira's striking ahead of their heavyweight title fight. Vakhitov's experience against Pereira could provide valuable tactical knowledge for Gane's preparation. The move highlights Gane's methodical approach to facing the dangerous striker Pereira.
