Eduard Vartanyan was allegedly attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg. According to the report, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head. The post criticizes ACA's inconsistent media access policies, noting that while media members are often strictly restricted from locker rooms and backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their friends apparently have access to these areas. The author points out that this led to a situation where a fighter was attacked before his bout. The post notes that ACA's media policies have improved recently but are still not ideal.
