On Saturday night, MMA pioneer Pat Miletich returned to action with mixed results.
Miletich, 55, who is best known for being the UFC’s inaugural welterweight world champion, stepped inside the cage under the Caged Aggression MMA banner in Davenport, IA for a grudge match with former friend and student Mike Jackson. Competing for the first time in more than three years, Miletich looked quite good in the early going, blasting Jackson with an overhand right that sent his opponent crashing to the canvas. The crowd roared in excitement as Miletich jumped on his man and pummeled Jackson for the remainder of the round, likely earning him a 10-8 on the scorecards.
