Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his ACA 202 fight with Uzair, struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The incident highlights concerns about fighter access to restricted areas at ACA events. The post notes that ACA has historically been strict about media access to locker rooms but has allowed fighters not competing on the card to move freely in those areas. The author criticizes this policy, suggesting fighters not on the card should also be restricted from backstage. Recent events have shown some improvement in access policies, though not ideal.
