Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled UFC bout against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised concerns with the organization. According to his sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gasanov submitted records of all substances he had used over the prior six months, passed a drug test, and insists he is clean, but the UFC flagged a banned compound that can remain detectable in the bloodstream for an extended period. Aliskerov compared the situation to the meldonium cases that affected other fighters, including Islam Makhachev, and suggested the substance in question was a minor supplement that lingers long after use.
