Compared to who?

Well Randy Couture, Quintin Jackson, Don Frye etc....

He's actually a pretty decent character actor now......it was a shame he cut his ufc career short.

Hey that is one of my all time favorite films no less, Last of the Mohicains.

I became a fan of MMA watching Oleg fighting. I remember one of his fights when he was on his back and don´t remember who was inside his guard, and he was fighting with eyes closed, just feeling his opponent's movements. I thought that was Yoda as fuck.
Oleg was a tough mofo, an amazing fighter and later even performed in several films. As far as I can remember, was the first top sambo fighter in ufc

Lol… aright, Glove, I’ll leave you alone… truth is, anyone w/ any real knowledge of MMA is scarce on the forums… glad, you’re trying to educate these fools w/ ol’ fight vids… I’ll go troll elsewhere… Kudos, Homie…

Also, that movie is dope as F…

Oleg Taktarov is a stud, and one of those guys that I would never want to fight, even now.

Still can't believe he got KO'd flat by skinny ass Renzo Gracie!

He simply got caught by a foot strike ioff guard, he should have been more careful. Its a devastating knockout too, afterwards he would even complain he wasnt even stunned and still wanted to fight on.

Oleg took some serious beatings back in the day. When he fought Shamrock, he left the cage deformed. When he fought Tank, he needed oxygen. No doubt those fights shaved some years off his life.

I remember Tank fish hooking the shit out of Oleg. I though his cheek might rip open at any point. The sport was savage back in the day.
