Pat Miletich

By FCF Staff

It’s been over a decade since Pat Miletich last fought, and the UFC Hall of Famer is now 52. But, his former manager and veteran promoter Monte Cox is reporting Miletich has agreed to fight again.

Recently Cox spoke with Bruce Buffer. While doing so, he announced Miletich is going to face former boxing champ Michael Nunn in a kickboxing match (quote via MMA Junkie).

“(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.”

Nunn, who recently completed a 16.5 years prison sentence on a drug charge, went 58-4 in boxing. The now 56-year-old Nunn won championships at super middleweight and light-heavyweight.

“Michael has been in prison,” Cox said. “He just got out six months ago. It was a cocaine thing. The feds set him up to buy a kilo of cocaine for 100 bucks. It’s just ridiculous. … It was entrapment at its best. But anyway, what he did when he went to prison was he took all the people who came in overweight and didn’t know about nutrition. (He) taught them how to get back in shape, eat right, and put them through workouts and stuff. He really did good.

“He’s a good guy. I know him really well. I traveled with him all over the world when he was fighting. At one time, he was pound-for-pound the best boxer in the world at 35-0. He was untouchable.”

Miletich’s (29-7) last fight took place in 2008 when he stopped Thomas Denny.
