Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp as he prepares for UFC White House, where he will face Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, having beaten him in 2021. The addition of Vakhitov to Gane's camp suggests a strategic effort to study Pereira's weaknesses and prepare specifically for the former kickboxing champion's striking style. Gane is clearly seeking expertise from someone with proven success against his upcoming opponent. The post does not provide details on the duration or specific focus of Vakhitov's involvement in the camp.
