Eduard Vartanyan allegedly attacked backstage at ACA 202 before his fight

Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. He was allegedly struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The post criticizes ACA's security protocols, noting that while media members are heavily restricted from accessing backstage areas and locker rooms, fighters not competing on the card and their entourages apparently had access and were able to initiate altercations. The author acknowledges that ACA's media access policies have improved recently, though they remain imperfect.
