Ciryl Gane recruits Artem Vakhitov for UFC White House training camp

Ciryl Gane has brought kickboxer Artem Vakhitov into his training camp ahead of UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, having beaten him in 2021. Gane is preparing to face Pereira and clearly sees value in training with someone familiar with his opponent's style. This strategic move could give Gane insights into Pereira's weaknesses. The collaboration highlights the crossover between kickboxing and MMA at the highest level.
