Artem Vakhitov, a GLORY kickboxing champ and the last man to defeat 'Poatan', seeks to leverage his technical striking style to secure a UFC contract.
The UFC's history with Pereira, who transitioned to MMA with minimal experience, showcases potential in bringing in previously successful strikers like Vakhitov.
Vakhitov's rivalry with Pereira contrasts with the heated competition seen between Pereira and Adesanya; their dynamic is more respectful, setting a different tone for this matchup.
With the light heavyweight division always needing fresh talent, Vakhitov's debut in Dana White's Contender Series is a strategic move for both the fighter and the promotion.
