One of the main competitors in both Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, José Mário Sperry, also known as Zé Mário or Zé Maquina, was a big figure of the Pride Fc organization in Japan. Though he was awarded his black belt by the late Master Carlson Gracie, Sperry left the Carlson Gracie Academy at the turn of the century, to form and lead the Brazilian Top Team (BTT), a controversial move at the time that turned him into a persona non grata in his masters circle. BTT would become one of the most successful MMA gyms in the world for most of that decade an achievement highly influenced by Sperry’s presence.
Oleg Nikolaevich Taktarov (Russian: Оле́г Никола́евич Такта́ров; born 26 August 1967) is a Russian actor and retired mixed martial artist. He was a practitioner of sambo and judo and competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and Pride Fighting Championships. He won the UFC 6 tournament.[2] He holds notable wins over Marco Ruas, Tank Abbott, Mark Kerr, and Anthony Macias.

Great to see these match ups but what’s with the footage? This was in the 90s, not the 40s.

Riccardo your a bad ass! Thank You. Never knew these two had a match.

[@OldSchoolCombat]

Thanks!

Nothing Beats the Old school this was The Golden era of grappling and submissions

I didn't know about a fight between 2 iconic fighters🤯

[@RiccardoAmmendoliaBJJ]

Glad you could watch it

[@joshuanewsom9613]

The monitor goes black and white, intermittently, from the qi explosions! Like EMFs, Dragon Ball Z style.

[@wizcoolc1]

There was another match with Oleg and some guy I have never seen. The guy was mauling Oleg the entire match. Oleg just managed to not get submitted. Anyone know who that other grappler was?

The days when competitors actually went after the takedowns. Pulling guard wasn't an option

Pulling guard is not a crime

This fight I never knew existed. A dream match. However this fight didnt do Oleg justice. Oleg likes to grapple for a long time then figure out how to beat his opponent. Just because he was on his back the entire time means nothing. Thats part of his strategy. Great fight, but feel short changed by the time limit.

[@dnickx]

According to Oleg himself he partied all the time he was in Abu Dhabi and was with a HUGE hangover when he grappled with Sperry

[@johnp7739]

Yeah, and I've heard his knees were shot by this point, too

[@1978mackdaddy]

@@johnp7739 They probably were but Oleg would still have won this if there was no time limit.

[@gbody2617]

It's not a fight Gen Z Oscar Meyer! If you've ever been in one you'd know!

[@gbody2617]

​@@1978mackdaddy - Oleg sucked too! He didn't have the actual heart of a warrior and was too sport oriented. I bet on the streets, he'd probably still think of it as some sport match crap. You must be his bf or something with your comments. 😂

[@alexsav609]

White belt guys

[@johnredd85]

Mario should have won by submission. Oleg's grappling is average at best.

[@wizcoolc1]

His technique was sloppy as hell, but interesting to watch.

とてつもなく映像が荒い。でもそんなことはどうでもいいのだ。

[@carlcanfield3763]

One of the most boring matches Ive ever seen

[@scarred10]

Absolutely terrible match,sperry should have been able to finish a very average grappler like oleg

[@kingwillie206]

Easier said than done. Oleg is far better than you think and you’d know that if you rolled with him like I did. He is deceptively strong.

[@scarred10]

@@kingwillie206 he may be strong but wasnt a great grappler.

[@stephenbradford7936]

@@scarred10 then why couldn’t Sperry finish him?

[@johnp7739]

@@scarred10 He was. He had tons of super fast submissions and was better at knee bars than anyone to date. But he was physically shot by this point.
