Zaur Gadzhiev involved in pre-fight altercation with Eduard Vartanyan

ACA fighter Zaur Gadzhiev and/or his teammates allegedly struck Eduard Vartanyan on the back of the head before Vartanyan's fight at an ACA event. Despite the incident, Gadzhiev will not be removed from the promotion's roster. Magomed Bibulatov stated that he had a stern conversation with Gadzhiev about the incident. The altercation reportedly occurred in the backstage area prior to Vartanyan entering the cage for his bout. This represents a disciplinary issue for ACA, though the promotion appears to be handling it internally rather than with severe punishment. The incident raises questions about fighter conduct and security protocols at ACA events.
