Pereira's former opponent predicts loss; Prochazka responds to Ulberg; Makhachev confirms camp

Artem Vakhitov, the last fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Ulberg by refusing to listen to complaints about being fake from a stripper. Carlos Prates and his daughter did a face-off with Jack Maddalena, with Carlos clarifying to his daughter who the bad guy was. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started preparation for his next fight. When asked about Sean Strickland's recent comments, Khamzat Chimaev showed restraint, comparing Strickland to a circus clown and noting that Strickland's friends told him Sean privately admits he's just promoting fights.
