Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp ahead of his fight at UFC White House against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, achieving this victory in 2021. By bringing in Vakhitov, Gane appears to be seeking specialized knowledge and sparring experience from someone who has previously beaten his upcoming opponent. This strategic choice highlights the importance of finding training partners with specific experience against Pereira's fighting style.
