Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. Friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The post highlights inconsistent security protocols at ACA events, where media are strictly restricted from backstage and locker room areas, yet fighters not competing on the card and their entourages can access these areas freely. The author notes that while media coverage personnel who have covered ACA for years are denied access, non-competing fighters can roam backstage and even initiate altercations. The situation has reportedly improved recently, though not perfectly.
