Zaur Gadzhiev strikes Eduard Vartanyan before bout, Bibulатов addresses incident

Zaur Gadzhiev and potentially his teammates physically struck Eduard Vartanyan with a slap to the back of the head before Vartanyan's fight. Despite the incident, the promotion will not remove Gadzhiev from the organization. Magomed Bibulatov, likely in a leadership role with the promotion, stated that he had a stern conversation with Gadzhiev about the incident. The decision not to impose serious consequences suggests the promotion is handling the matter internally. The pre-fight altercation raises questions about fighter conduct and discipline within the organization.
