Quick read
Artem Vakhitov, who is helping Ciryl Gane prepare for his upcoming fight, stated in a recent interview that Alex Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass for his move to heavyweight. Vakhitov is the last fighter to defeat Pereira in kickboxing, lending weight to his analysis. His comments suggest that the added bulk may compromise Pereira's speed and mobility advantages. The post also includes several other brief MMA news items, including Islam Makhachev confirming he has started training camp and Khamzat Chimaev responding to Sean Strickland's trash talk. Vakhitov's prediction adds an interesting wrinkle to the heavyweight title picture.
