Ciryl Gane has brought in Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for UFC White House. Vakhitov is notable as the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, having beaten him in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp suggests he is seeking expertise from someone with direct experience against Pereira's striking style. The move indicates Gane is taking a tactical approach to his preparation. Vakhitov's kickboxing background and specific knowledge of Pereira make him a valuable training partner.
