Quick read
Magomed-Rasul Gassanov was removed from his scheduled UFC fight against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance he had used was flagged by the organization. According to his sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov, Gassanov provided documentation of all substances taken over the past six months and passed a subsequent test, but UFC required additional retesting over the flagged compound. Aliskerov compared the situation to the meldonium cases that affected other fighters, noting the substance can remain detectable in the body for an extended period despite no recent use.
