Vakhitov predicts Pereira will lose due to excessive weight gain

Artem Vakhitov, the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and now assisting Ciryl Gane in training, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Alexander Ulberg, saying he doesn't want to hear claims of being "fake" from a stripper. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun training camp for his next fight. Hamzat Chimaev addressed Sean Strickland's trash talk with composure, explaining that he finds it amusing rather than angering because Strickland's friends told him Sean admits he's just promoting the fight, and Hamzat dislikes fake people. Colby Covington complained that the UFC shows no interest in him, doesn't promote him, and hasn't included him in important events like the White House fight card, though he still wants to compete and is open to spending his final years fighting in RAF.
