Eduard Vartanyan attacked backstage at ACA 202 before his fight

Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg before his bout with Uzair. He was struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with fighter security and access control at ACA events. The post notes that while media are strictly restricted from backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their entourages apparently have access. The author criticizes this policy, suggesting fighters not on the card should also be restricted from backstage areas where such incidents can occur.
