Eduard Vartanyan attacked backstage before ACA 202 fight by Zaur Gadzhiev's friends

Eduard Vartanyan was assaulted in the backstage area before his fight at ACA 202, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident raises questions about ACA's access policies, as the promotion typically restricts media from backstage areas while allowing fighters not competing on the card to be present with their entourages. The post criticizes the inconsistency in access control, noting that journalists who have covered ACA for years are often denied access while non-competing fighters can freely move backstage. The author acknowledges recent improvements in media access policies but suggests the situation remains imperfect.
