Ciryl Gane has brought in Artem Vakhitov for his training camp ahead of UFC White House. Vakhitov holds particular significance as the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, which occurred in 2021. Gane is clearly seeking specific preparation for a potential matchup with Pereira, who has proven himself a formidable kickboxer in MMA. This training camp addition suggests Gane is studying Pereira's weaknesses and wants to work with someone who has successfully exploited them. The strategic choice of sparring partner indicates serious preparation for the high-profile event.
