Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly 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 Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with backstage access at ACA events, where fighters not competing on the card and their friends can move freely while credentialed media face strict restrictions. The post notes that ACA has recently improved media access policies, though the situation remains imperfect. The author contrasts this with previous events where security forcibly removed media members for filming too close to the cage.
