Eduard Vartanyan allegedly attacked backstage before ACA 202 fight

Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg. Friends of Zaur Gadzhiev allegedly struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The post also discusses ACA's strict media access policies, noting that while media members are typically restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card can access these areas with friends. The author criticizes this policy, suggesting fighters outside the card should face similar restrictions while credentialed media who have covered ACA for years should receive better access.
