Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was allegedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. According to reports, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head prior to his bout. The post criticizes ACA's security protocols, noting that while media members are strictly prohibited from accessing locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their friends were allowed access and apparently initiated an altercation. The author points out the inconsistency of denying credentialed media access while allowing non-competing fighters and their entourages into restricted areas where incidents can occur.
