Artur Vahitov predicts Alex Pereira will lose due to excessive muscle gain

Artur Vahitov, who is helping Cyril Gane prepare and is the last fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, made bold predictions about Pereira's upcoming heavyweight title fight. Vahitov stated that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Volkan Oezdemir, dismissing complaints from a "stripper." Islam Makhachev confirmed he started preparation for his next bout. Hamzat Chimaev addressed Sean Strickland's trash talk, comparing it to watching a clown at a circus and noting that Strickland told Chimaev's friends he was just promoting the fight. Colby Covington complained about UFC's lack of interest in promoting him and expressed willingness to fight in RAF.
