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.

Taktarov's MMA record from 1995 to 1998 was 11-5-2[].
Taktarov also starred in the movie 15 Minutes and Bad Boys 2
