Mixed martial arts career
A former 1991 World Open Karate Championship finalist who was eliminated by Andy Hug, Bitsadze trained for his mixed martial arts debut in his Fighting Network RINGS's RINGS Georgia team, taking in both editions of the King of Kings tournament. He was pitted against RINGS Holland exponent Gilbert Yvel at the first one, but he was taken down and submitted via armbar, thus being eliminated from the league. Tariel performed better at the next edition, threatening Renato Sobral with a close guillotine choke attempt, but being eventually caught in an armbar again and eliminated.

gollark: That is some high-quality image editing.
gollark: In fact, a lot of the time, the cover image is bigger than the text.
gollark: I'm not a cloud person. It's stored locally (and besides, any cloud thing should probably report filesizes sanely). The thing is that most books are actually less than a megabyte or so, because they generally don't contain many pictures and text compresses really well.
gollark: What?
gollark: I have a few hundred. They mostly don't contain images except for the cover.
