Eduard Vartanyan was reportedly attacked in the backstage area prior to his bout with Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg. According to the report, friends of Zaur Gadzhiev struck Vartanyan in the back of the head before his scheduled fight. The incident raises questions about security protocols and fighter access to restricted areas at ACA events. The post notes that ACA has historically maintained strict media access policies for backstage areas, yet fighters not competing on the card were apparently able to roam freely and initiate confrontations. The author criticizes the inconsistent security approach that prevents credentialed media from accessing certain areas while allowing non-competing fighters and their associates to move about. The report acknowledges recent improvements in media access policies but suggests fighter access protocols need review.
