Eduard Vartanyan was allegedly attacked in the backstage area before his bout with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. According to reports, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The incident highlights ongoing issues with backstage access at ACA events. The post notes that while media members face strict restrictions on backstage access, fighters not competing on the card and their entourages have been allowed in these areas. The author criticizes this policy, suggesting fighters not on the card should face the same restrictions as media personnel.
