Zaur Gadzhiev and/or members of his team allegedly attacked Eduard Vartanyan before his fight, striking him on the back of the head. Despite this incident, Gadzhiev will not be removed from the league. Magomed Bibulatov stated that he had a stern conversation with Gadzhiev about the incident. The attack occurred in the backstage area before Vartanyan's bout. No further disciplinary action appears to be planned beyond the verbal warning from Bibulatov. The incident raises questions about fighter conduct and security protocols.
