Pretty decent read...Taktarov talks about his return, accuses Shamrock of steroid abuse...just a bunch of topics he touches on.

Here are some snips:

On Ken and Frank Shamrock...

"I like Ken, but what I can say is when you’re talking about Frank Shamrock and Ken Shamrock, Ken always acted like he knows everything and Frank would be quiet and learn things, practice things and try to get a style down and learn from his mistakes. I have to give credit to Ken because he’s 44 and he’s had some good fights in the recent past, but I’m pretty sure if he used his natural ability and his desire to fight, he would’ve did so much better. Ken made some of the mistakes [alleged steroid use] I mentioned earlier. His body would be more together right now and I think that’s the only reason he’s losing."

On Fedor...

"He’s a great man and he likes to keep his word. Like the last time he competed in Combat Sambo in Moscow. He was sick really badly and he was still fighting and he could’ve really damaged his heart and health. He fought just to keep his word and people thought he didn’t have it anymore just because he was sick. The best thing about Fedor is he trains like a madman and he's going to win. He trains in the right places and he always gets good conditioning in the mountains."

On Dan Severn...

"I didn’t want to just submit him. I wanted to break the leg because it was the leg that cut my forehead. I was too greedy. I didn’t want to submit him. I wanted to break the whole leg and I changed positions and didn’t really have control of his leg. It was my mistake. I should have just won the fight. I don’t feel like I have any problems with Dan, but there are some people I’d like to fight again."
