Last Sunday in Russia, men slapped each other silly until just one of them was left standing.

It happened at the Siberian Power Show last week in Krasnoyarsk. There were also events like bodybuilding contests and dance battles, yet none could compare to what eventually turned out to be a topless bout of strength and pain tolerance.

At stake: 30,000 rubles, or about $465.

Vasily Kamotskiy took home the grand prize, according to Deadspin.

A similar event took place last year in another part of Russia, at the Sarychev Power Expo.

The grand prize there was about $460 as well.
