Art Davy, one of the co-founders of the UFC, named Oleg Taktarov the first Russian champion of the promotion. According to Davy, Oleg won three fights in one evening and deserved to receive a champion belt.

“In the sixth tournament, he won the championship belt. To win this belt, he needed to beat three rivals in one evening. I respect what Khabib does, but he fights twice a year. This is much easier...” the functionary said.

UFC Russia considers the first Russian champion of promotion to be Khabib Nurmagomedov.
