Ciryl Gane has recruited Artem Vakhitov to his training camp in preparation for UFC White House. Vakhitov is notably the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, accomplishing this feat in 2021. This strategic addition to Gane's camp brings in someone with specific experience against his upcoming opponent's striking style. The pairing suggests Gane is focusing heavily on striking preparation and seeking insights from someone who successfully navigated Pereira's dangerous standup game. This training partnership could provide Gane with valuable tactical knowledge as he prepares for one of the most dangerous strikers in MMA.
