Quick read

Artem Vakhitov, the last fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane with training camp, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose his next fight because he has gained too much muscle mass. Vakhitov believes the added bulk will negatively impact Pereira's performance. In related news, Jiri Prochazka responded to criticism from Alex Ulberg by calling him a "stripper," dismissing accusations of being fake. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun training camp for his next fight. Khamzat Chimaev responded to Sean Strickland's trash talk by comparing him to a circus clown and noting that Strickland privately tells people he's just promoting fights.
