Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled fight against Abubakar Vagaev after UFC took issue with a substance found in his system. According to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov submitted records of substances used over the past six months and tested clean, but UFC flagged a particular compound that lingers in the bloodstream and is on the prohibited list. Aliskerov compared the situation to the meldonium cases that affected other fighters, saying the substance was once commonly used and can remain detectable long after use.
