Artem Vakhitov predicts Alex Pereira will lose due to excessive muscle mass

Artem Vakhitov, the last person to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane prepare, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Meanwhile, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Ulberg, calling him a stripper and dismissing his criticisms as fake. Carlos Prates held a face-off with Maddalena alongside his daughter, with Prates clarifying to her who the bad guy was. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun preparation for his next fight. Hamzat Chimaev responded to Sean Strickland's trash talk with a measured response, explaining he finds it amusing rather than angering, comparing it to watching a clown at the circus and noting that Strickland backs down when confronted in person.
