Ciryl Gane has recruited Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for UFC White House against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, which occurred in 2021. By bringing in Vakhitov, Gane is leveraging specific knowledge of Pereira's style and vulnerabilities. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is taking a calculated approach to facing the current champion. The training partnership could provide valuable insights into how to defeat Pereira.
