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 Gadhiev. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about fighter security in backstage areas at ACA events. The post notes that while media access to backstage areas has been heavily restricted at ACA events, fighters not competing on the card and their associates have been allowed access. The author criticizes this policy, suggesting that fighters not on the card should be the ones restricted from backstage access rather than credentialed media who have covered ACA for years.
