Ciryl Gane 聘請踢拳專家準備與 Alex Pereira 的對戰
Introduction
Ciryl Gane has added Artem Vakhitov to his training team before his interim heavyweight championship fight against Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250.
Ciryl Gane 在 UFC Freedom 250 與 Alex Pereira 爭奪重量級臨時冠軍之前，邀請了 Artem Vakhitov 加入其訓練團隊。
Main Body
Gane is working with Vakhitov, a successful Glory kickboxing champion, to develop his strategy. This partnership is based on the fact that Vakhitov was the last person to beat Pereira in kickboxing, winning their second fight in 2021. Vakhitov emphasized that although Pereira has great power, his defense is weak and his chin is often exposed. Furthermore, he asserted that Pereira is less effective when his opponent stays calm and attacks aggressively.
Gane 正在與 Glory 踢拳冠軍 Vakhitov 合作以制定策略。這次合作是基於 Vakhitov 是最後一個在踢拳比賽中擊敗 Pereira 的人，他們在 2021 年的第二次對決中由 Vakhitov獲勝。Vakhitov 強調，雖然 Pereira 擁有強大的力量，但其防禦較弱，下巴經常暴露。此外，他斷言當對手保持冷靜並積極進攻時，Pereira 的表現會較差。
Additionally, Vakhitov suggested that Pereira's recent weight gain might be a disadvantage, whereas Gane is already comfortable at the heavyweight limit. He believes that Gane's speed and timing could lead to an early win. However, Pereira has dismissed this advice. He argued that kickboxing is very different from mixed martial arts (MMA) and that he has improved significantly since 2021. Consequently, Pereira believes Vakhitov's information is no longer useful and that Gane should focus on Pereira's physical strength instead.
此外，Vakhitov 建議 Pereira 近期的體重增加可能是個劣勢，而 Gane 已經適應了重量級的體重上限。他認為 Gane 的速度與時機掌握可能會帶來早期勝利。然而，Pereira 否定了這項建議。他認為踢拳與綜合格鬥 (MMA) 非常不同，且他自 2021 年以來已有顯著進步。因此，Pereira 認為 Vakhitov 的資訊已不再有用，Gane 應該將重點放在 Pereira 的體能強度上。
Conclusion
The two fighters have completely different opinions on how much Vakhitov's advice will matter in their upcoming fight in Washington.
兩位格鬥家對於 Vakhitov 的建議在華盛頓的對戰中會產生多少影響，持有完全不同的看法。
