Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight against Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The post criticizes ACA's media access policies, noting that while journalists are restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas at most events, fighters not competing on the card and their friends can move freely, which enabled this incident. The author notes improved media access recently but questions why long-time ACA media members face restrictions while non-competing fighters and associates don't. The incident occurred at an event with over 6,500 attendees. The post highlights security and credentialing inconsistencies at ACA events.
