Abubakar Vagaev vs Magomedrasul Gasanov reportedly in works for UFC Abu Dhabi

A potential matchup between Abubakar Vagaev and Magomedrasul Gasanov is being developed for UFC's Abu Dhabi event on July 25. The post suggests that connections played a significant role in both fighters joining the UFC, with Khamzat Chimaev reportedly helping Vagaev and Khabib Nurmagomedov or Islam Makhachev assisting Gasanov. The author notes this fight was previously anticipated in ACA and expresses excitement that it could now happen on a bigger stage with Chimaev and Khabib potentially cornering the respective fighters.
