From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Oleg Taktarov (June 25, 1968 -) is a Russian martial artist. He is a practitioner of Sambo and mixed martial arts. He has competed in the UFC and PRIDE. Taktarov last fought a professional MMA match in 1998.

Taktarov is remembered for being calm during fights and for using a variety of rarely seen, acrobatic take-down moves. He usually finished bouts with a submission. He often stalled against later opponents who utilized the sprawl to dislocate from the ground game and stay toe-to-toe.

His fights with David Abbott and Dan Severn in 1995 are well-known. Taktarov won against Abbott, but could not stand when it ended. He lost to Severn in one of the bloodier fights the UFC had seen.
