Eduard Vartanyan allegedly attacked backstage before ACA 202 bout

Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. According to the report, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The incident raises questions about ACA's security protocols and media access policies. The post notes that ACA has historically been strict about media presence in locker rooms and backstage areas, often restricting journalists to media rooms or press seating. However, fighters not competing on the card and their friends have had access to these restricted areas. The author criticizes this inconsistency, suggesting that fighters outside the card should be barred from backstage rather than legitimate media who have covered ACA for years.
