Pat Miletich vs Michael Nunn in kickboxing bout

[Queen B]

UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich could be making his return to the combat sports realm in the near future.


During an appearance ”IT'S TIME!!! with Bruce Buffer," longtime promoter and manager Monte Cox revealed that he is working on putting together a kickboxing bout between Miletich and professional boxer Michael Nunn. The matchup had been in the works for April, but the coronavirus pandemic put those talks on hold.

“[There’s] one big show I’m working on,” Cox said. “You’ve probably heard rumors of this, but Pat Miletich is going to fight again. He’s fighting Michael Nunn, a great boxer. It’s an incredible [fight]. This thing will draw. We could draw 7,000-plus in the Quad Cities. They are the two greatest professional athletes or fighters out of that area.”

A former UFC welterweight champion, Miletich went 8-2 in the Las Vegas-based promotion. The Miletich Martial Arts founder compiled a 29-7-2 record in MMA over the course of a career that began in 1995. He last competed in 2008, when he knocked out Thomas Denny at Adrenaline MMA 2 in Moline, Illinois. Miletich has since transitioned to a career as analyst, calling fights on AXS TV and UFC Fight Pass.

Nunn, meanwhile, was released from prison in February 2019 after serving more than 16 years of a drug trafficking sentence. Prior to his arrest in 2002, Nunn went 58-4 as a professional boxer, capturing the IBF middleweight title and the WBA super middleweight crown along the way.

“This is a spectacle,’’ Miletich said in a promotional video distributed to the Quad City Times in January. “It’s not a normal sporting event. It’s more of a spectacle.’’

Pat was a pioneer though. He started in the days of karate bros vs toughman guys, he fought prime Dan Severn in a steel cage like they use in WWE, and went from a random guy in hill billy fight contests like that to developing his own complete MMA system and becoming UFC champion. He is not the worst because there are the random tournament champions, Vitor winning via cut, etc. No way a drunk would beat him 5/10 times.

nah pat was an animal. big power in his hands, incredible grappling, could bring his kicks high. he’s one of the more well rounded fighters of that era.

I'm not saying that pat wasnt a good fighter for his time he fought some tough guys and won and lost some decent fights to watch. What I am saying is at this junction in his life its embarrassing that he is thinking about an in ring return of any kind. He has alot more to lose from this than he stands to gain. Respect to him for all of his pioneer work and miletich fighting systems but this bout shouldn't be sanctioned as a prize fight. If he wants to do an exhibition for charity that's another story but he is devaluing himself imo

I hope Miletich is not doing this only because he needs money.
