UFC legend Oleg Taktarov made headlines this week after voicing some derogatory and Islamophobic statements during a Q&A session on social media.
Taktarov, who won the UFC 6 tournament in 1995, grew frustrated when asked during an Instagram Live session whether he should be considered the first Russian UFC champion.
“I can tell you a story. First champion Royce Gracie. Then he won again. The third championship was won by Steve Jennum, because everyone was injured. The fourth championship Royce Gracie who strangled Dan Severn.
