After calls earlier this week for an eventual move to the UFC in pursuit of a trilogy rubber match against current light heavyweight champion, Alex Pereiraformer GLORY Kickboxing star, Artem Vakhitov has been urged to “be careful” what he wishes for by the Brazilian star.
Pereira, a former two-weight champion in both the UFC and GLORY Kickboxing, twice fought Russian star, Vakhitov in the London-based promotion – suffering his final defeat inside the squared circle against the former in their title fight three years ago via majority decision.
Prior to that, Sao Paulo knockout artist, Pereira would defeat Vakhitov with his own split decision win in Rotterdam, however, since the latter’s move to mixed martial arts, the two have been linked with a trilogy decider in a future clash under the banner of the UFC.
