Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. According to the report, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The incident highlights ongoing access control issues at ACA events, where media are strictly restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas, yet fighters not competing on the card can apparently move freely. The post notes that while media access policies have improved recently, they remain imperfect. The incident raises questions about ACA's security protocols and differential treatment of media versus non-competing fighters and their entourages.
