Turkmen sambo wrestler Ovezgeldiyev won the Grand Prix in Ulan-Ude

The Grand Prix of Combat Sambo, which was held according to the new rules of the Combat Sambo League, ended in Ulan-Ude (Republic of Buryatia, Russia). In the weight category up to 88 kg, Turkmenistan's Suvkhan Ovezgeldiev won, defeating Russian Ivan Intyukhov in the final.

The Combat Sambo League was established in February 2020 with the aim of popularizing this sport and supporting professional sambo wrestlers. The key feature of the Grand Prix in Ulan-Ude was the holding of the tournament without preliminary meetings - athletes immediately went to the final matches in their weight categories.

Wrestlers from Russia, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Belarus, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan took part in the competition. The winners were awarded cash prizes in the amount of 100,000 rubles and championship belts.
