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, he was struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident raises questions about security protocols at ACA events, particularly regarding who is allowed in restricted backstage areas. The post notes that while media access to locker rooms and backstage areas is typically heavily restricted, fighters not competing on the card and their associates appear to have more freedom of movement. The author criticizes this inconsistency in access control, suggesting fighters not on the card should face similar restrictions.
