Russia’s first UFC belt holder Oleg Taktarov declined to comment Khabiba Nurmagomedova to quit MMA.
Russian MMA veteran Taktarov, while chatting with fans, asked not to bother him with questions about Khabib Nurmagomedov’s lyrics. On Jan. 5, the 34-year-old ex-UFC champion left a message on social media alluding to his retirement from the MMA industry and turning down coaching and organizing work.
You ask him to leave. If, for example, I decide to pursue a profession, someone will call him and ask him why Taktarov decided to become an artist or producer of an actor. I don’t think anyone will call me, so don’t humiliate me with these questions. Besides, you know how I feel about all of this. Every one of my comments, any beautiful and laudatory comment then turns into a pile of garbage and dirt. And you know how much I don’t like that. When you live to my age, you will understand how unpleasant it is when you lived 52 years with the greatest respect for you from all over the world and suddenly started. Also, people…or not people, I don’t know, who have never seen you, won’t see you and know you,” Taktarov said.
Taktarov fought in MMA from 1993 to 2008, won 17 out of 24 fights and became the winner of the UFC 6 tournament on July 14, 1995.
