Ciryl Gane has brought in Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for UFC White House. Vakhitov is notably the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, securing that victory in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests the French heavyweight is seeking expertise from someone with proven success against his upcoming opponent's striking background. Vakhitov's familiarity with Pereira's style could provide valuable insights during the preparation phase. The collaboration represents a tactical move by Gane as he prepares for one of the biggest fights of his career. Training camp partnerships with specialists who have defeated opponents are common in high-level MMA preparation.
