UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan has accepted a grappling challenge from wrestler Shovkhal, who offered 500,000 rubles if Tsarukyan can score a takedown within one minute. The challenge appears to be a lighthearted callout, with Shovkhal referencing his upcoming bout against an Olympic champion. Tsarukyan confidently responded that he believes he can successfully score on Shovkhal. Shovkhal even offered to give up a leg attack as a handicap during the challenge. The exchange was captured on video by Nika Kelekhsashvili and represents typical pre-fight banter in the Russian MMA community.
