Often known as “The Croatian Sensation” Pat Miletich at the age of 26 began to train for the MMA. He had already trained in a variety of martial arts including karate, kickboxing, and boxing. He was very much inspired by the boxing aspirations of his uncle, Johnny “Miller” Miletich who was present at the 1932 Olympics in Los Angeles as part of the boxing squad. He would begin training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and compete in his first MMA event “Battle of the Masters” in Chicago in 1995.

He made his official UFC debut at UFC 16 and won the very first UFC Lightweight Tournament. During "UFC Brazil" Pat become the first UFC Lightweight champion, defeating Mikey Burnett. In 2001, the UFC changed weight class limits, making Pat Miletich the Welterweight division champion.

After a two year break Pat returned to the Octagon in "AMMA 2 - Adrenaline" where he battled against Thomas Denny in December 2008, and he was victourous by KO early in the second round.


George Katsinopoulos and the Definition of Courage

This video is of one of my friends from Greece who trains at the Athens, Greece affiliate. He went to see his father before he left for this fight and found his father had died suddenly of a heart attack. He and his father were very close, but he went thru with the fight anyway. -Pat M.
