UFC matchmakers reportedly clashed with Khamzat and Khabib over fighter signings

Quick read

Khamzat Chimaev and Khabib Nurmagomedov allegedly signed Adam Vagaev and Gadzhimurad Gasanov to the UFC by going directly to the organization's bosses, bypassing matchmakers who were presented with a fait accompli. In apparent retaliation, matchmakers initially booked Vagaev and Gasanov against each other, then removed Gasanov from the bout citing a failed drug-testing timeline, before informing Vagaev his only available slot was a welterweight fight against Saygid Izagakhmaev.
