Miletich is scheduled to return to action on July 18 as he has signed to fight former world boxing champion Michael Nunn in a kickboxing bout in Davenport, Iowa. The last time “The Croatian Sensation” competed in a sanctioned MMA bout was in 2008 where he recorded a win over Thomas Denny. Miletich made his UFC debut at UFC 16 in 1998.
Pat Miletich was the first fighter to hold what is now labeled as the UFC welterweight title.
