Vakhitov predicts Pereira loss; Prochazka responds to Ulberg; Islam begins camp

Artem Vakhitov, who last defeated Alex Pereira in kickboxing and is now helping Ciryl Gane prepare, predicts Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Carlos Ulberg by dismissing critiques from a "stripper." Carlos Prates did a face-off with Jack Della Maddalena alongside his daughter, explaining to her who the bad guy is. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started training camp for his next fight. Hamzat Chimaev commented on Sean Strickland's trash talk, comparing it to a circus clown and noting Strickland becomes friendly in person. Colby Covington expressed frustration that the UFC shows no interest in him or promoting him for major events.
