Ciryl Gane has brought kickboxer Artem Vakhitov into his training camp in preparation for his upcoming bout at UFC White House against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, having done so in 2021. This strategic move suggests Gane is seeking expertise from someone with firsthand experience beating Pereira in striking. The addition of Vakhitov to the camp highlights Gane's focus on developing a game plan to counter Pereira's renowned striking skills. Further details on the training regimen or duration of Vakhitov's involvement are not provided.
