Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. He was struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadjiev. The incident raises questions about ACA's access control policies. The organization has historically been strict about media access to locker rooms and backstage areas, yet fighters not competing on a card can apparently move freely in restricted areas with their entourage. The author notes that while ACA's media access policies have improved recently, they remain imperfect, especially when security incidents like this occur involving non-competing fighters.
