Taktarov to return at BodogFIGHT: Russia vs. USA 2
From Sherdog

Taktarov Back in BodogFIGHT ‘Russia vs. USA 2'
Although unnoticed by American fans, bodogFIGHT has started selling tickets for its second pay-per-view show from Russia, aptly named "Russia vs. USA 2."
The Nov. 30 event will again take place at the Khodynka Arena in Moscow, which played host to the super fight between Fedor Emelianenko (Pictures) and Matt Lindland (Pictures) in April.
Because of cost-cutting measures inside the promotion, the card may not be as stacked with superstars as in the past but still features some intriguing matchups. UFC legend Oleg Taktarov will come out of retirement to fight UFC veteran John Marsh (Pictures) in the main event. We will have more on the comeback of the "Russian Bear" later this week.
Full card:
Alexander Kokoev vs. Sultan Tikhayev
Ivan Anikanov vs. Besiki Gerenava
Stanislav Shushko vs. Thalmann Sheriffs
Vladimir Zenin (Pictures) vs. James "Binky" Jones
Constantine Glukhov vs. Dan Evensen (Pictures)
Julia Berezikova (Pictures) vs. Jessica Aguilar
Akhmet Sultans vs. "Big" Eric Pele (Pictures)
Vladimir Kuchenko vs. Wagner da Conceicao Martins (Pictures)
Alexander Shlemenko vs. Diego Vitosky
Andrei Semenov (Pictures) vs. Emyr Bussade
Oleg Taktarov vs. John Marsh (Pictures)

WHOA! Oleg is coming back?!?!? Holy shit! I really wasn't expecting this, and I'm sort of interested, since I'm an Oleg fan.

I know! I was jacked to hear about this.
And it's not exactly a walkthrough fight, either. Marsh is a decent opponent. I'd much rather see Oleg fight him than box Dolph Lundgren.

I didn't expect this at all. What'll this be, 10 years since his last fight?

I'd rather see him in a ring than in another Will Smith movie. Gotta love Oleg, he was just a tough dude. The guy that got me interested in grappling (not Royce... every time that scrawny lil' dude won I entered a state of denial).

I enjoyed watching Oleg sub people more than Royce, too. Oleg pulled off subs so quick and smooth. Royce was slow as hell, and the subs looked really sloppy.
Oleg doesn't get enough credit.
