Zaur Gadzhiev and/or his teammates allegedly jumped Eduard Vartanyan before his fight, striking him on the back of the head. Despite the incident, Gadzhiev will not be expelled from the league. Magomed Bibulatov stated that he had a strict conversation with Gadzhiev about the matter. The post indicates this was a pre-fight altercation that occurred backstage or in the athlete area. Details about any potential disciplinary action beyond the conversation are limited. The incident raises questions about security protocols at ACA events.
