Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled fight against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised concerns with the UFC. According to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov provided documentation of everything he had taken over the past six months and tested clean, but the UFC asked him to retest due to one compound that remains detectable in the bloodstream for an extended period. Aliskerov compared the situation to earlier cases involving mildronate, arguing the substance was widely used in Russian sport and its long detection window does not indicate ongoing use.
