Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled UFC fight against Abubakr Vagaev after a substance in his system drew the promotion's scrutiny. According to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov submitted his supplement history, passed a drug test, and has not been using prohibited substances, but UFC flagged a compound that remains detectable in the bloodstream for an extended period and asked him to retest. Aliskerov likened the situation to past cases involving mildronate, where a long half-life in the body led to unintended positive results.
