Alex Pereira’s former opponent, and fellow former GLORY champ, Artem Vakhitov, is reportedly set to compete in the next season of Dana White’s Contender Series.

Vakhitov, who has won innumerable kickboxing titles including GLORY’s light heavyweight championship, was the last man to face Pereira before the latter transitioned back into MMA in 2021. After losing his first fight with the current UFC champ via split decision, Vakhitov took the remach via majority decision.

MMA Propagande recently reported that Vahitov is set to fight Islem Masraf at an October 8th, DWCS card in Las Vegas. MMA Fighting has also confirmed the booking with multiple sources.

The 33-year-old Vakhitov moved to MMA last year and has gone 2-1 since. Masraf currently holds a 3-0 record in pro-MMA.
