Video: Ciryl Gane trains with former Alex Pereira foe before UFC Freedom 250

Ciryl Gane is pulling out all the stops to ensure he's ready for Alex Pereira 's game at UFC Freedom 250 . Less than two months out from his interim heavyweight title showdown with Pereira (13-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the June 14 co-main event at the White House in Washington, D. C.

, Gane (13-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) has enlisted the help of the last name to defeat "Poatan" inside the kickboxing ring. Veteran GLORY kickboxer Artem Vakhitov, who defeated Pereira by majority decision at GLORY 78 in September 2021, has traveled to France to give Gane some high-level looks in sparring. Vakhitov shared some footage of their work together on Monday (via Instagram ): View this post on Instagram
