According to the respected website, MMA Junkie, the UFC will be inducting Pat Miletich to their Hall of Fame on July 6th of this year at the main stage of the UFC Fan Expo in Las Vegas. Miletich won a Welterweight tournament, which occurred at UFC 16 in 1998 by defeating both Townsend Saunders and Chris Brennan in the same night.
Later that year, at UFC Brazil (also known as UFC 17.5), Miletich would score his biggest win, becoming the promotion’s inaugural Welterweight Champion defeating Mikey Burnett. He would successfully defend the Title four times before succumbing to Carlos Newton in 2001. Although Miletich would never become a UFC Champion again, he was one of the early lighter weight stars of Mixed Martial Arts and retired with an overall MMA record of 29-7-2 (8-2 in the UFC).
After he was finished as an active competitor, Pat Miletich would become a respected trainer, producing future main event talent such as Matt Hughes and Robbie Lawler. Miletich becomes the twelfth fighter to enter the MMA Hall of Fame, and we here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate him for receiving this honor.
