Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg, reportedly struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The channel notes this incident highlights inconsistent ACA policies regarding backstage access. While media have historically been strictly restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their friends have been allowed access, even when initiating altercations. The author criticizes this policy, suggesting fighters not on the card should face similar restrictions. They acknowledge ACA has recently improved these policies, though not to an ideal level.
