Quick read
UFC middleweight Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled fight against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised concerns with the UFC. Gasanov's training partner Ikram Aliskerov says Gasanov tested clean and had not taken anything prohibited recently, but that a long-lasting compound flagged in his system led the promotion to order re-testing and ultimately cancel the bout. Aliskerov compared the situation to the meldonite cases that previously affected other fighters, suggesting the substance can remain detectable in the body long after use.
