Vartanyan allegedly attacked backstage at ACA 202 by Gadzhiev's associates

Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg. He was struck in the back of the head by associates of Zaur Gadzhiev. The post criticizes ACA's media access policies, noting that while journalists covering the promotion for years face strict restrictions on backstage access, fighters not competing on the card and their friends can roam freely and even initiate altercations. The author mentions being physically removed by security at a Kazakhstan event for filming too close to the cage. The post acknowledges that ACA's policies have recently improved but suggests more work is needed.
