Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with backstage access control at ACA events. While ACA has historically been strict about media access to locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their entourages have been allowed to roam freely. The post notes that this has improved recently, though it remains imperfect, and questions why long-time media covering ACA are restricted while fighters outside the card can move about and even initiate fights.
