Artem Vakhitov predicts Pereira will lose to Gane due to excessive muscle gain

Artem Vakhitov, the last fighter to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane with his preparation, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose because he has gained too much muscle mass. Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations of being fake from Ulgberg by dismissing the criticism, saying he doesn't want to listen to complaints from a stripper. Carlos Prates and his daughter did a face-off with Maddalena, with Prates having to clarify to his daughter who the bad guy was. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun preparation for his next bout. When asked about Sean Strickland's trash talk, Khamzat Chimaev responded philosophically, comparing it to going to a circus and not getting angry at a clown, noting that when his friends approached Strickland, he immediately backed down saying he was just promoting the fight.
