UFC 6 champion Oleg Taktarov was beaten in Mexico.
The reason was that Taktarov stood up for a girl who had a dispute with the security of a local hotel, claims journalist Alexander Lyutikov.
“I asked not to terrorize people, make all claims against me. Let them go home,” said Taktarov. – He was hit on the back of the head with what I think was a baseball bat. Internal hematoma. Ten people jumped on me. I woke up from the fact that I was suffocating, I had a T-shirt on my nose, I wanted to breathe, and they beat me. One jumped on handcuffs. Some kind of fishing line pulled my legs together. For about 30 minutes I lay without moving, but they continued to beat me. Some kind of mafia structure. When the police arrived, I breathed a sigh of relief. I realized that I would survive, because every second I thought that I would die. Turned out it was the federal police.”
The 54-year-old Taktarov has 17 wins, 5 losses and 2 draws. He had his last fight in 2008 against American Mark Kerr.
