Vahitov predicts Pereira will lose due to excessive muscle mass gain

Artem Vahitov, who is helping Ciryl Gane prepare and is the last fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose his upcoming fight because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Carlos Ulberg by dismissing complaints from "a stripper." Carlos Prates had a face-off with Jack Maddalena that included Prates' daughter, with Carlos explaining to her who the "bad guy" was. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started preparation for his next bout. Khamzat Chimaev responded philosophically to Sean Strickland's trash talk, comparing it to not getting angry at a clown in a circus and noting that Strickland's friends say he only talks for promotion.
