Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with ACA's media access policies versus allowing fighters not on the card into backstage areas. Media members who have covered ACA for years are often restricted from backstage access, while fighters not competing on the card and their entourages are permitted in those areas. The post notes that ACA's policies on this have improved recently, though not perfectly.
