Friends of Zaur Gadzhiev attacked Eduard Vartanyan backstage at ACA 202

Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his fight with Uzair at ACA 202 in St. Petersburg, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The post notes this is a separate incident involving the same parties mentioned in earlier reports. The author criticizes ACA's inconsistent media access policies, pointing out that while journalists covering the promotion for years are often restricted from backstage areas, fighters not competing on the card and their friends were allowed access and even initiated a physical altercation. The author acknowledges that media access has improved recently but argues the situation remains imperfect. The incident raises questions about security protocols and who should be permitted in restricted areas at ACA events.
