Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled bout against Abubakar Vagaev after the UFC took issue with a substance found in his system. According to sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov submitted records of everything he had taken over the past six months and his tests came back clean, but the UFC flagged one long-lasting compound and required further testing before ultimately cancelling the fight. Aliskerov drew a comparison to the meldonium cases that previously affected other fighters, suggesting the substance lingers in the body long after use has stopped.
