Olympic-level wrestler Shovkhal issued a specific challenge to UFC lightweight contender Arman Tsarukyan during a social encounter. Shovkhal proposed a bet of 500,000 rubles (clarifying it was rubles, not dollars) if Tsarukyan could score a takedown point against him within one minute in a wrestling match. When Tsarukyan accepted the challenge, Shovkhal added that he would even give up a leg, suggesting he's willing to offer positional advantages. The wrestler mentioned he's preparing to compete against an Olympic champion in the near future, expressing high confidence in his defensive wrestling abilities against the accomplished UFC fighter.
