Abubakar Vagaev vs Magomedrasul Gasanov reportedly in works for UFC debut

Former ACA standouts Abubakar Vagaev and Magomedrasul Gasanov are both entering the UFC roster, with their signing facilitated by high-profile connections—Khamzat Chimaev helped sign Vagaev, while Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev backed Gasanov. The post suggests these signings may have involved negotiations tied to other fights. Both fighters are known for dominant grappling styles, which typically UFC president Dana White dislikes, making these signings notable. Their connections appear to have been crucial in securing UFC contracts. A potential matchup between the two is being discussed, which would create significant excitement in the Russian-speaking MMA community.
