Famous Russian kickboxer, former Glory champion Artem Vakhitov has announced that he is ready to fight under mixed martial arts rules with UFC light heavyweight champion Alex Pereira.
The Russian recalled that at the moment the score in the confrontation between the fighters is 1-1. Vakhitov and Pereira met twice according to the rules of kickboxing.
— The next fight could become a trilogy. I think that would interest fans all over the world. We are top-level strikers, constantly striking with our feet, knees and hands. Remember how we fought in Glory, then imagine that we are wearing small gloves in the UFC octagon.
“With the team we will study Alex’s mistakes, I will be ready. I have already defeated him before and I am sure that I can do it again,” MMAJunkie quoted Vakhitov as saying.
In MMA, Pereira has 11 wins and two losses.
