Eduard Vartanyan attacked backstage at ACA 202 by Gadzhiev's team

Eduard Vartanyan was attacked in the backstage area before his bout with Uzair at ACA 202 in Saint Petersburg, being struck in the back of the head by friends of Zaur Gadzhiev. The post highlights concerns about ACA's security protocols, noting that while media access to locker rooms and backstage areas is heavily restricted, fighters not competing on the card and their entourages can apparently move freely. The author criticizes the inconsistency of allowing potential troublemakers access while restricting legitimate media members who have covered ACA for years. The incident raises questions about fighter safety and access control at ACA events, though the author notes security policies have recently improved somewhat.
