Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg. He was struck in the back of the head by associates of Zaur Gadzhiev. The post criticizes ACA's security practices, noting that while media access to locker rooms and backstage areas has traditionally been heavily restricted, fighters not competing on the card and their entourage were allowed backstage, which enabled the incident. The author notes that media policies have improved recently but questions why non-competing fighters had such access when credentialed journalists were excluded. This incident occurred at the Saint Petersburg event, though details remain limited.
