Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by associates of Zaur Gadjiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with ACA's backstage access policies. The post notes that while ACA has historically restricted media access to locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their entourages have been allowed to roam freely, even to the point of initiating physical altercations. The author suggests that ACA should reconsider these policies and restrict access for non-competing fighters rather than credentialed media who have covered the organization for years.
