Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. According to the report, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The incident highlights security concerns at ACA events, where fighters not competing on the card are allowed backstage access while media members face strict restrictions. The post notes that while ACA has recently improved media access, historically they prevented journalists from accessing locker rooms and backstage areas while allowing non-competing fighters free movement. This incident occurred despite the promotion's typically tight control over who can be in restricted areas.
