Vahitov predicts Pereira will lose to Gane 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. In other news, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Alexander Ulberg by dismissing complaints from "a stripper." Carlos Prates and his daughter did a face-off with Jack Della Maddalena, with Prates having to explain to her who the bad guy is. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun preparation for his next fight. Khamzat Chimaev responded philosophically to Sean Strickland's trash talk, comparing him to a circus clown and noting that Strickland tells people privately he's just promoting fights. Colby Covington complained that the UFC shows no interest in him, doesn't promote him, and doesn't include him in major events like fights at the White House, while expressing willingness to compete in RAF if needed.
