Zaur Gadzhiev slapped Eduard Vartanyan before fight; Biboulatov reprimands him

Zaur Gadzhiev and/or his teammates physically struck Eduard Vartanyan on the back of the head before Vartanyan's fight. Despite the incident, Gadzhiev will not be removed from the promotion. Magomed Biboulatov stated that he had a stern conversation with Gadzhiev about the incident. The post suggests this is part of a pattern of behavior, as it references Gadzhiev "jumping" on another fighter as well. The lack of significant disciplinary action has raised questions about the promotion's handling of pre-fight altercations.
