The video publication was released as part of the TuesdayThrows series and is accompanied by a witty caption. Translated, it reads: “If your opponent on the mat is named Shark, it’s better to consult your coach about whether to step into this match. Otherwise, you risk ending up in the collection ‘Five Minutes of Mahmudov’.” Thus, UWW emphasizes Mahmudov's dominant wrestling style and his ability to finish matches in a short amount of time.
