Zaur Gadzhiev involved in pre-fight incident with Eduard Vartanyan

Zaur Gadzhiev and/or his teammates allegedly attacked Eduard Vartanyan before Vartanyan's fight, striking him on the back of the head.

The attack reportedly occurred in the backstage area prior to Vartanyan's scheduled bout. The post suggests this was a deliberate pre-fight altercation rather than an accidental encounter. No further disciplinary actions beyond the conversation were mentioned.
