Ciryl Gane has invited kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to join his training camp as he prepares for his bout against Alex Pereira at UFC White House. Vakhitov is notably the last person to defeat Pereira in kickboxing competition, having secured that victory in 2021. Gane appears to be strategically leveraging Vakhitov's experience and knowledge of Pereira's striking style to gain an edge in preparation. The addition of a specialist who has successfully faced Pereira before suggests Gane is taking a detailed approach to his game plan for the champion.
