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 Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing access control issues at ACA events, where fighters not competing on the card are allowed in restricted areas while credentialed media are often barred from backstage and locker room areas. The journalist notes that while media access policies have improved recently, they remain imperfect. The attack occurred in areas where media are typically prohibited but fighters and their teams have free access.
