Ciryl Gane has brought in kickboxer Artem Vakhitov to his training camp as he prepares for UFC White House. Vakhitov holds particular significance as the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, with that victory occurring in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is seeking specialized striking expertise ahead of his bout. The choice of Vakhitov indicates Gane is studying Pereira's style and vulnerabilities, even if Pereira is not his direct opponent. Training camps often recruit specialists who have experience against potential future opponents or similar fighting styles.
