Pat Miletich

Patrick Jay Miletich (/ˈmɪlətɪtʃ/; born March 9, 1968) is a retired American mixed martial artist and former sports commentator.

[4] Miletich also played high school football in Bettendorf Bulldogs and was an All-State nose guard in his senior year.

[5] Miletich shared the Bettendorf High School wrestling room with future MMA champion Mark Kerr.

Although Miletich originally planned to pursue football after graduating high school, he eventually chose to wrestle in junior college.

He returned in September 2006 to fight Renzo Gracie in an IFL superfight, and submitted to a guillotine choke in the first round.

Miletich's last fight was in December 2008 where he scored a second-round KO over Thomas Denny that was televised on the HDNet network.

Over a decade since his last mixed martial arts bout, Miletich was originally scheduled to face Michael Nunn in a kickboxing match on April 18, 2020.

[11] After a near fifteen year hiatus, Miletich returned to face rival Mike Jackson on October 14, 2023 at Caged Aggression 36.

[12] Despite finding initial success against his younger foe, Miletich succumbed to fatigue, and lost via technical knockout after his corner stopped the fight before the start of the third round.

Miletich began providing color commentary for Strikeforce on April 11, 2009, for its debut on Showtime and did so regularly until that promotion's demise in 2012.

On January 12, 2021 Pat Miletich was fired from his commentary position at Legacy Fighting Alliance for being present in Washington D.C. at the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol, although he had no involvement.
