Zalachenko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Torture Chamber. Bang has chosen Mike Tyson clip from Hangover as his entrance music. On his way into the ring it seems that Alexander Zalachenko has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Alexander Zalachenko seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
