Artem Vakhitov says Alex Pereira will lose due to gaining too much muscle mass

Artem Vakhitov, who is the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and is currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Alexander Ulberg by saying he doesn't want to hear complaints about being fake from a stripper. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started training camp for his next fight. Khamzat Chimaev explained why Sean Strickland's trash talk amuses rather than angers him, noting that Strickland's friends told him Sean was just promoting the fight and calling him fake. Colby Covington expressed frustration that UFC shows no interest in him, doesn't promote him, and hasn't included him in important events like a White House fight, though he still wants to compete and is open to giving his final years to RAF.
