Artem Vakhitov predicts Alex Pereira will lose due to excessive 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 his upcoming fight because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Volkan Oezdemir by dismissing him as a "stripper." Carlos Prates did a face-off with his daughter and Jack Della Maddalena, having to explain to her who the bad guy is. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun training camp for his next bout. Khamzat Chimaev responded to trash talk from Sean Strickland with measured commentary, comparing him to a circus clown and noting that when Chimaev's friends approached Strickland, he backed down claiming he was just promoting the fight.
