Gane brings in Vakhitov, Pereira's last kickboxing loss, for training camp

Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for his bout against Alex Pereira at UFC White House. Vakhitov holds particular significance as he was the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, achieving that victory in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is seeking insights from someone who has successfully found a path to victory against Pereira in striking-based competition. The choice demonstrates Gane's methodical approach to preparing for the former kickboxing champion.
