I noticed Oleg was sitting here postless so I thought I'd say a word or two...
Oleg Taktarov was my favorite fighter out of the original UFC tourneys. He kicked some serious ass, and he deserves some credit.

Oleg Taktarov was the shit. He beat a guy in 8 seconds by upside down half guard guillotine choke.

Hell yeah. The guy was cold as ice. One of my favorites was his fight against Tank Abbott. He took out Matua in 20-some seconds, Varelans in about 2 minutes, and finally beat Tank Abbott after an exhausting 17 minutes. I could never stand Tank, and I will always remember that fight.
I thought Oleg dropped off the face of the earth, but I found out he's been making movies.

Oleg will always be one of my favorite fighters. His heart was legendary, and well the fight with Tank... Watch ultimate Abbott and see how highly even Tank talks about Oleg.

davidm724

If Tank speaks highly of anyone, that's saying something.

OK, I just watched this movie Bobby Z, and I started recognizing UFC fighters. The obvious guys were Liddell and Tim Sylvia, but later a guy was referred to simply as "Oleg." I paused the movie and jumped off the couch because it was freakin Oleg Taktarov! My girlfriend had no idea what I was talking about, but man I was excited to see him. I knew he was doing movies, but this was totally unexpected. Good fight scenes in that movie BTW, except Paul Walker is gay.

Tha fight was actually "Worked"

Oleg kicked some ass in "44 Minutes: The North Hollywood Shootout" until he got shot 29 times in the legs by SWAT. He also was in the Russian mob in "Bad Boys II" until he got cut into pieces in a drug lord's kitchen.

Still "44 Minutes" was an awesome reproduction of the actual shootout. To bad they threw in a bit of Hollywood BS though.
