"Gane, a former interim heavyweight champion, has twice come up short in bids for undisputed heavyweight gold, dropping a unanimous verdict to Francis Ngannou at UFC 270 and suffering a first-round submission loss to Jon Jones at UFC 285."
"Vakhitov, who owns a 3-1 MMA record, posted video of some sparring with Gane via Instagram on Monday. Vakhitov earned a contract on Dana White's Contender Series in 2024 but was unable to come to terms with the Las Vegas-based promotion."
"Pereira will be making an attempt at capturing a third UFC title when he meets Gane. 'Poatan' last appeared at UFC 320, where he regained the light heavyweight strap with a first-round stoppage of Magomed Ankalaev."
Ciryl Gane is preparing for a fight against Alex Pereira for the interim heavyweight title at UFC White House on June 14. He is training with Artem Vakhitov, who previously defeated Pereira at Glory 78. Gane has faced challenges in his career, including losses to Francis Ngannou and Jon Jones, and a no contest against Tom Aspinall. Pereira aims to capture a third UFC title after regaining the light heavyweight strap and moving to heavyweight.
