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

Artem Vakhitov, who was the last fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and is currently helping Ciryl Gane with his preparation, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose his next fight because he has gained too much muscle mass. The post also covered several other MMA news items: Jiri Prochazka responded to Alexander Ulberg's accusations of being fake by calling Ulberg a stripper, Carlos Prates did a face-off with his daughter against Jack Della Maddalena, Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started training camp for his next fight, and Khamzat Chimaev responded to Sean Strickland's trash talk by comparing him to a circus clown and noting that Strickland's friends reported he privately admits to just promoting fights. Colby Covington also complained about UFC's lack of promotional support and expressed willingness to compete in RAF.
