Eduard Vartanyan was allegedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights security concerns at ACA events, where fighters not competing on the card are sometimes allowed backstage access while media members are strictly restricted. The post notes that while ACA has historically been very strict about media access to locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters and their entourages have had more freedom of movement. The author mentions that media policies have improved recently but are still not ideal.
