Former kickboxer Artem Vakhitov, who is the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, believes the current UFC champion will lose his upcoming bout because he has gained too much muscle mass. Vakhitov is currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare for fights and made these comments in a recent interview. The criticism focuses on Pereira's physical transformation since moving up to heavyweight. While the post does not specify which opponent Vakhitov is referencing, the context suggests concerns about Pereira's performance at the heavier weight class. Vakhitov's unique perspective comes from both his history with Pereira and his work with elite heavyweights.
