Russian promoter Vladimir Khryunov said he had no plans to organize any more fights Jeff Monson .
During his MMA career, Monson had 60 victories, suffered 26 defeats and one of his fights ended in a draw. In May 2023, the 53-year-old fighter told that he had surrendered his US citizen passport to the embassy and now only has Russian citizenship. In August 2023, Oleg Taktarov and Monson fought in Moscow under boxing rules; after three rounds, the judges recorded a draw. After the fight, they expressed the desire to have a rematch, but according to MMA rules. The organizer of the first meeting was Khryunov.
— I have no intention of organizing fights for Jeff Monson. It came, thank you very much. We spent time together in Ingushetia. But it seems to me that the days of fighter Jeff Monson are already over. There will definitely be no rematch with Oleg Taktarov. We plan to meet Oleg tomorrow and do other things. We are discussing a major project: making a world-class film on martial arts. There will be some biographical episodes of mine and his. I think it will be a fascinating picture,” Khryunov told .
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.
