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 helping Ciryl Gane with his training camp, stated in a recent interview that Pereira will lose his upcoming fight because he has gained too much muscle mass.

The post also mentions that Jiri Prochazka responded to accusations from Carlos Ulberg by dismissing him as a "stripper," and that Islam Makhachev confirmed he has started preparation for his next bout.
