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

Artur 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 his next fight because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations of being fake from Carlos Ulberg by calling him a stripper. In a lighter moment, Carlos Prates and his daughter did a face-off with Jack Della Maddalena, with Prates having to explain to her who the bad guy was. Hamzat Chimaev also commented on Sean Strickland's trash talk, saying he finds it amusing rather than angering and noted that Strickland apologized in person saying he was just promoting the fight.
