Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled UFC bout against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised flags with the promotion. Gasanov's sparring partner and fellow fighter Ikram Aliskerov says Gasanov provided documentation of everything he had taken over the past six months and tested clean, but UFC flagged one substance that stays in the bloodstream for an extended period, leading to the fight's cancellation. Aliskerov drew a comparison to the meldonite cases that have affected other fighters, arguing the substance is similarly a legacy issue rather than intentional doping.
