Out for UFC Abu Dhabi
Gasanov (undisclosed) won't face Abubakar Vagaev at UFC Abu Dhabi on July 25, according to Marcel Dorff of Heavy on Sports.
ANALYSIS
Gasanov has pulled out of UFC Abu Dhabi for undisclosed reasons and will not be able to make his promotional debut against Vagaev. Vagaev will now fight Saygid Izagakhmaev at the same event. The Russian was a star with ACA, going undefeated (10-0) and defending the middleweight belt seven times. His long-awaited debut will be delayed, and whether he can fight later this year remains questionable.
