UFC 6 tournament winner Oleg Tactarov reported that the fight with Jeff Monson most likely, will not take place at the end of November.
Earlier, Monson told that he would stage a second fight against Taktarov at the end of November.
— Most likely, to my knowledge, there will be no fight with Monson at the end of November. The promoter called me and explained to me the reasons why everything was going to be postponed a bit. In addition, I had a desire, which I wrote in the contract, that before the fight with Monson I needed one more boxing match, where I would not mind beating my opponent. I hope things will work out,” Taktarov told .
The first fight between Monson and Taktarov took place under boxing rules on August 18 in Moscow; after three rounds, the judges recorded a draw. After this fight, both fighters announced their desire to have a rematch, but under MMA rules.
According to Sherdog statistics, Monson has 60 wins, 26 losses and one other fight ended in a draw during his MMA career. Taktarov has 17 wins, five losses and two draws in MMA. His last official fight was on April 11, 2008. Taktarov won the UFC tournament in 1995.
