Quick read
Magomedrasul Gasanov was removed from his scheduled fight against Abubakar Vagaev after a substance in his system raised concerns with the UFC, according to his sparring partner Ikram Aliskerov. Aliskerov said Gasanov submitted records of everything he had taken over the past six months and tested clean, but the UFC flagged a particular compound that remains in the bloodstream for an extended period. Aliskerov drew a parallel to the meldonium cases that affected other fighters, suggesting the substance was a common supplement rather than deliberate doping.
