Somewhat similar, except if the tribesman has only a Spirit Combat 13, he'll either have to accept a really weak spirit, or chance losing... I imagine the Shaman can use his superior ability to boost the entire ceremony.

Remember, all they get is a -3 (or whatever), and all they have to do to get rid of it is cement their new 'Dismounted Combat' skill.

OK, slightly more serious interpretation:
'You say you are chaos fighters? Prove yourself in the marsh!'
or...
'You tell us your tradition, we tell you ours. We don't like yours,
we smack you in the mouth. Meanwhile, wet your throat.'
Same thing, really. SB/Urox don't have formal debates.
