Anderson Silva versus Pat miletich

[savemgs]

As many of you may know Anderson Silva was the number 2 welterweight on the planet for a meaningful period of time. The UFC even announce to he was supposed to fight Matt Hughes twice but it never happened.

I was going through some old rankings and I noticed Pat miletich was still at number 4. At the time Anderson and Matt
The fight between them a possibility of happening.

What do you think would have happened if Anderson was able to catch Matt then had to fight Pat miletich? I think it would have been a very interesting fight.

No. Pat was just a UFC champion. That's why he lost fights outisde of UFC. He was top 5 WW, but not on Anderson's level, or Sakurai's level.

Both would've mauled him.

Incorrect. He was a WW back then.
Know your history.

Something like this is what would´ve happened

2001-2002?

Miletich was nearing the end of the road about that time. He's a good ten years older than Silva, and was on the decline physically.

All signs point to a younger, faster, and more fiery Silva turning his lights out, but Miletich could have taken advantage of Silva's inexperience. If Takase and Chonan tapped Silva a couple years after this proposed fight, I have a hard time counting Miletich out of this. He would have been a very live dog.

Idk I would've taken Miletich and Hughes both against Andy back then. No way Andy was stopping Hughes wrestling and Miletich was one of the best of that era for a reason. Andy too inexperienced then imo

Seems like a bad matchup for Pat. Granted, I don't know exactly what Anderson was up to then, nor where Pat was physically... but I imagine Anderson would've been trouble for him.

Anderson beat Sakurai. Idk about Hughes but Silva would beat Miletich.

solid post and how I feel. Sakurai was so amazing.

 

[Jizzer]

Miletich would have given him a fight, but Hughes would have pulled the head off him

Pat Miletich beating Anderson Silva?

Y'all tripping.

 

[Threetrees]

Same thing that happened to Sakurai, Miletich was winding down

God damn those missiles after that knee still get me and I've seen that gif 100000x

 

[Reign009]

I think Silva beats them both. It was early in Silva's career but he was seriously a different level of striking in MMA.

Note that Silva beat Newton the same way that Pele beat Hughes.

No hammer fists... Hespect.

Ehh it probably would've looked worse than when Pepe destroyed Militech.
