Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. The attack involved being struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with ACA's backstage access policies, where media are heavily restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas, yet fighters not competing on the card are allowed access with their entourages. The reporter notes that while media restrictions have improved recently, they remain imperfect. This incident occurred at the same event where other security and access issues were documented.
