Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg, being struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights ongoing issues with backstage access at ACA events. The reporter notes that while media access to locker rooms and backstage areas is heavily restricted, fighters not competing on the card and their associates can roam freely. The post criticizes this policy, noting that credentialed media who have covered ACA for years are blocked from these areas, while individuals who can initiate fights are allowed access. The reporter acknowledges that ACA has recently improved somewhat in this regard, though issues persist.
