Artem Vakhitov predicts Alex Pereira will lose due to excessive weight gain

Artem Vakhitov, who is helping Ciryl Gane prepare and was the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Ulberg by dismissing complaints from "a stripper." Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started preparation for his next bout. Hamzat Chimaev displayed awareness when asked about Sean Strickland's trash talk, explaining he finds it amusing rather than angering because Strickland privately tells people he's just promoting fights. Colby Covington expressed frustration that the UFC shows no interest in promoting him or featuring him at important events like the White House fight card.
