Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. He was struck in the back of the head by friends of fighter Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing access issues at ACA events, where media have historically been restricted from backstage areas and locker rooms while fighters not competing on the card have been allowed access. The reporter notes that while ACA has improved media access recently, it's still not ideal. The attack occurred in an area where media are typically barred but fighters and their entourages can freely move.
