Vahitov predicts Pereira will lose to Gane due to excessive muscle gain

Artem Vahitov, the last man to defeat Alex Pereira in kickboxing and currently helping Ciryl Gane in his training camp, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose their upcoming fight because he has gained too much muscle mass. In other news from the MMA community, Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Ulfberg by calling him a stripper, and Carlos Prates did a face-off with his daughter and Madalena. Islam Makhachev confirmed he has begun training camp for his next fight. In a notable exchange, when asked about Sean Strickland's trash talk, Khamzat Chimaev showed maturity, explaining that he finds it amusing rather than angering, comparing Strickland to a circus clown and noting that when his friends approached Strickland in person, he immediately backed down and said he was just promoting the fight.
