Overview
- Tsarukyan, appearing on a Kick stream hosted by influencer Clavicular on Friday, applied a choke to a volunteer during a visit to a shoe store.
- The volunteer, a streamer named Shoovy, asked to be choked and said on camera he would not sue, adding he hoped he would wake up.
- Seconds after the hold was applied, Shoovy went out, the host blurted “Oh shit, is he dead?,” and the volunteer then sat back up.
- Bjj Eastern Europe identified the move as a rear-naked choke, and outlets like MMAmania said it appeared Tsarukyan held it too long.
- He remains booked for Real American Freestyle 8 against Urijah Faber on April 18, and no outlet reported any formal discipline tied to the stream.
