Former GLORY Kickboxing star, Artem Vakhitov has once more offered to settle his differences with former two-time foe, Alex Pereira in the UFC – after the current light heavyweight champion urged him to “be careful” with his words after a recent call out.

Vakhitov, who has since made a move to mixed martial arts following his pair of GLORY Kickboxing clashes with Pereira, currently holds a 2-1 record in the sport – landing a knockout win inside just seconds as recently as February.
