Eduard Vartanyan attacked backstage before ACA 202 bout

Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his ACA 202 fight with Uzair, being struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights concerns about fighter access to restricted areas at ACA events. The promotion has historically been strict about media access to locker rooms and backstage areas, yet fighters not competing on the card and their friends were present in these zones. The reporter notes that while access policies have improved recently, they remain imperfect, suggesting fighters not on the card should be restricted from backstage areas.
