Quick read

Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled UFC bout against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised concerns with the organization. According to his sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov had not recently used the substance but it persists in the body for an extended period — drawing a parallel to the meldonium cases that affected other fighters including Islam Makhachev. Aliskerov maintained that Gasanov's physical condition and performance level remain unchanged from his time competing in ACB, where performance-enhancing drugs are not prohibited.
