Ciryl Gane brings in Artem Vakhitov for training camp ahead of Pereira bout

Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp in preparation for his upcoming fight against Alex Pereira at UFC White House. Vakhitov holds the distinction of being the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, having done so in 2021. The move signals Gane's strategic approach to studying and countering Pereira's striking style. Bringing in a fighter with specific experience against the opponent is a common tactic in high-level MMA preparation. The collaboration could provide Gane valuable insights into Pereira's tendencies and weaknesses.
