Undercard bout

Coming up we have a super heavyweight kickboxing rules bout between Black Belt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alexander Zalachenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Belt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bon Jovi - Blaze of Glory. Zalachenko is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Torture Chamber. On his way into the ring it seems that Black Belt has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Black Belt seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
