Judges ended up ruling in favor of Uzbekistan, who took home the bronze instead.
The Mongolian coaches, Byambarenchin Bayoraa and Tsenrenbataar Tsostbayar, understandably, were upset with this decision.

Tsostbayar stripped down all the way to his underwear.
When tensions are running high, sometimes you just have to do anything to release your emotions. Occasionally, that involves tearing off your shirt.
The coaches' protest immediately elevated them to folk-hero status. The audience started shouting "Mongolia! Mongolia!"

The coaches had to be escorted off the mat by Brazilian national police, according to The Washington Post. The audience cheered for them as they left.
Ganzorig might not have won a medal, but at least he inspired one of the most surreal moments of the Rio Olympics.
