Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled bout against Abubakar Vagaev after UFC flagged a substance found in his system and asked him to undergo further testing. According to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, the fighter tested clean but the substance — which reportedly remains detectable in the body for an extended period — was sufficient for the promotion to cancel the contest. Aliskerov drew a parallel to the meldonium cases that previously affected other fighters, arguing the compound was a common supplement rather than a performance-enhancing drug.
