Zaur Gadziev and/or his teammates physically confronted Eduard Vartanyan before his fight by striking him on the back of the head. Despite this incident, Gadziev will not be removed from the promotion. Magomed Bibulatov has stated that he had a stern conversation with Gadziev about the incident. The attack occurred in the backstage area prior to Vartanyan's bout with Uzair. This represents a serious breach of conduct that has been addressed internally but will not result in Gadziev's dismissal from the organization.
