Zaur Gadzhiev confronted Eduard Vartanyan before fight at ACA event

Zaur Gadzhiev and potentially his teammates were involved in a pre-fight incident with Eduard Vartanyan, reportedly striking him on the back of the head before his bout. The altercation occurred at an ACA promotion event but has not resulted in Gadzhiev's removal from the organization. Magomed Bibulatov stated that he had a stern conversation with Gadzhiev about the incident. Despite the confrontation, the promotion appears to have handled the matter internally rather than imposing severe sanctions. The incident adds to concerns about fighter conduct and security at mixed martial arts events.
