Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov has been removed from his scheduled bout against Abubakar Vagaev after UFC flagged a substance found during testing. According to Gasanov's sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov provided records of supplements taken over the past six months and tested clean, but UFC required him to retest due to a banned substance that lingers in the body for an extended period. Aliskerov drew a parallel to the meldonium cases seen in Russian sport, suggesting the substance may have been used long before and was not an active violation.
