Vakhitov says Pereira will lose to Gane due to added muscle mass

Artem Vakhitov, the last man to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiří Procházka responded to accusations from Alexander Ullberg, dismissing complaints from "a stripper." Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started training camp for his next fight. Hamzat Chimaev commented on Sean Strickland's recent trash talk, saying he finds it amusing rather than angering because Strickland's friends told him Sean admitted he is just promoting the fight and is fake. Colby Covington expressed frustration that UFC shows no interest in him, does not promote him, and did not include him in major events like the White House fight card, though he remains willing to compete or potentially join RAF for his final competitive years.
