Ciryl Gane has recruited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp ahead of his UFC White House bout against Alex Pereira. Vakhitov is the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, having beaten him in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is seeking expertise from someone who has successfully faced Pereira in striking combat. The move indicates Gane is preparing extensively for the stylistic challenges Pereira presents. No further details about the training camp or specific preparations were provided.
