While I doubt I could catch him, I would sure love to try.

Sounds dumb. It's training

Very dumb since he already has refused to tap to some sort of leglock vs Roman Dolidze and fucked something up..

Fitch did something similar when he was preparing to fight Bj

I'd sub him with my mouse and keyboard cables.

Khamzat Chimaev Offers Generous Reward in Gym Submission Challenge

Khamzat Chimaev has an ongoing million rubles (approximately $10,000) challenge at his gym.

The middleweight contender claims he hasn’t been submitted for a long time, even in practice. While he admittedly offers some vulnerable positions while training with youngsters, Chimaev takes it to another level during serious sessions. “Borz” has an open challenge offering a million rubles to anyone who can submit him in the gym.

Chimaev also said that his teammate Abubakar Vagaev is the one who has come the closest to submitting him in recent times. The Chechen-born Swede was in Vagaev’s corner when he dethroned Albert Tumenov via unanimous decision to win the welterweight title at ACA 183 on Saturday.

“Anyone who submits me during training gets a million rubles from me,” Chimaev told media at the post-fight press conference after ACA 183 via Home of Fight). “It hasn’t happened in a long time. When I’m fooling around with young guys, I give up my neck, but when we have a serious grappling match, I offer a million rubles to anyone. Let them come to the gym and try. Who came closest to submitting me? The guy sitting next to me [Vagaev]. I won’t point fingers, or it’ll be his moment of fame (laughs).”

With six finishes in eight UFC wins, the undefeated Chimaev is likely the frontrunner for the next middleweight title shot. The 30-year-old most recently submitted former champ Robert Whittaker at UFC 308 this past October.

Rickson used to let people start with submission sunk in, not sure if Khamzat does the same. He makes it sound like he lets people get the submission and then he fights out.

I thought the wording said that for less experienced grapplers, he'd start with the submission already in, but for "serious" grappling, where he offers the reward, he framed that as something separate.

Khamzat:
“It hasn’t happened in a long time. When I’m fooling around with young guys, I give up my neck, but when we have a serious grappling match, I offer a million rubles to anyone."

Interesting. I think your interpretation might be the correct one.
