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

Artem Vakhitov, the last man to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently assisting Ciryl Gane in his preparation, claimed in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Alexander Ulberg, calling Ulberg a stripper and dismissing his claims of being fake. Carlos Prates and his daughter staged a face-off with Gilbert Maddalena, with Prates clarifying to his daughter who the bad guy is. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun preparation for his next bout. Khamzat Chimaev explained why Strickland's antics amuse rather than anger him, saying Strickland is like a circus clown and that his friends approached Strickland who immediately backed down claiming he was just promoting the fight.
