Vakhitov predicts Pereira loss; Prochazka calls Ulberg stripper; Islam confirms camp

Artem Vakhitov, who last defeated Alex Pereira in kickboxing and is now helping Ciryl Gane prepare, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he gained too much mass. Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Carlos Ulberg by saying he doesn't want to hear complaints about being fake from a stripper. Carlos Prates and his daughter did a face-off with Jack Della Maddalena, with Prates clarifying to his daughter who the bad guy is. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started preparation for his next fight. Hamzat Chimaev responded to Sean Strickland's trash talk with awareness, comparing Strickland to a circus clown and noting that when his friends approached him, Strickland backed down claiming he was just promoting the fight. Colby Covington complained that UFC shows no interest in him, doesn't promote him, and isn't including him in important events like the White House fight, though he's willing to give his final competitive years to RAF.
