Gane recruits Vakhitov for Pereira prep; Vakhitov last to beat Pereira

Ciryl Gane invited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp as he prepares for his upcoming bout against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov holds the distinction of being the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, with that victory occurring in 2021. Gane's decision to bring in Vakhitov suggests a targeted approach to studying Pereira's style and potential weaknesses based on someone who has successfully beaten him.
