Quick read
Eduard Vartanyan was allegedly attacked in the backstage area before his ACA 202 fight with Uzair Abdurakov. According to reports, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head prior to his bout. The post criticizes ACA's inconsistent media access policies, noting that journalists are restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas while fighters not competing on the card can apparently move freely. The author mentions being removed from ringside by security at a previous Kazakhstan event for filming too close to the cage. The post acknowledges that ACA's policies have improved recently but still fall short of ideal, suggesting fighters not on the card should face similar access restrictions as media.
