Zaur Gadzhiev strikes Eduard Vartanyan before fight, receives team reprimand

Zaur Gadzhiev and/or members of his team struck Eduard Vartanyan on the back of the head before Vartanyan's fight at an ACA event. Despite the incident, Gadzhiev will not be expelled from the promotion. Magomed Bubulatov, presumably a team leader or authority figure, stated that he had a strict conversation with Gadzhiev about the behavior. The incident represents a violation of pre-fight protocols and professional conduct. No additional disciplinary measures beyond the verbal reprimand have been announced by the organization.
