Resumen rápido
Eduard Vartanyan was assaulted in the backstage area before his fight at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by associates of Zaur Gadjiev. The incident highlights inconsistent security protocols at ACA events, where media members are strictly restricted from backstage areas while fighters not competing on the card can roam freely with their entourages. The author notes that while recent events have shown improvement in media access, the organization historically prevented credentialed journalists from backstage while allowing potential conflicts like this to develop. This incident occurred despite ACA's typically strict enforcement of media exclusion from locker rooms and backstage areas.
