Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled fight against Abubakar Vagaev after the UFC flagged a substance found in his medical records, according to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov. Aliskerov said Gasanov provided documentation of all substances used over the past six months and returned clean tests, but the UFC required additional retesting over a compound that remains detectable in the bloodstream for an extended period. Aliskerov drew a comparison to the meldonite cases that previously affected other fighters, suggesting the substance was a common supplement rather than a performance-enhancing drug.
