Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp as he prepares for his upcoming bout at UFC White House against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is notably the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, achieving that victory in 2021. Gane's decision to bring in Vakhitov suggests he is seeking specialized knowledge about Pereira's striking style and potential vulnerabilities. This strategic move indicates Gane is taking a calculated approach to preparing for the former kickboxing champion. The addition of someone with a winning blueprint against Pereira could prove valuable in Gane's preparation.
