Oleg Taktarov vs Jeff Monson Prediction: Snowman Has Melted Long Enough

On August 18 in Moscow will be held another tournament Fight Club REN TV, in which the fight between Viacheslav Datsik and Oli Thompson will head. We present the prediction for the evening event Oleg Taktarov vs Jeff Monson.

A true MMA legend and UFC 6 winner Oleg Taktarov decided to resume his career 15 years after his last fight. The great fighter turned actor decided to take advantage of his hiatus from filming to fight under the rules of boxing.

Taktarov's strength has always been not his punching power but his serious wrestling skills. In fourteen of his 17 victories, Oleg won by submissions.

He also had a boxing history. In 2007 he participated in the project "Kings of the Ring," where he dueled with the famous actor Dolph Lundgren. In this fight, Taktarov won by unanimous decision of the judges.

Snowman has also made a name for himself in mixed martial arts. Having severe problems with his back, Jeff does not rest and continues to fight, although he has repeatedly promised to end his career.

Monson fell in love with Russia, and the country returned the favor. Now Jeff is building a political career, participating in some social projects, promoting sports, and agrees to fight absolutely according to all the rules, although with little success.

Let's have no illusions. We will probably not see a bright fight. Two veterans, basic fighters will try to reveal the strongest in a three-round boxing match. We have not seen Oleg Taktarov in action for more than ten years, so we don't know his physical condition. Despite performing quite regularly, Jeff Monson looks pale and loses to everyone right and left. And the real success of Snowman is already considered a draw.

Considering that the fight will occur in the REN TV Fight Club tournament, where bouts often end unpredictably, we think the extended downtime will not affect Taktarov's success.
