Just weeks after he cut a probation deal following a 2023 DWI arrest, and not long after a 30-day jail sentence, UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich has been arrested again.
Miletich was booked into the Scott County (Iowa) jail Friday and is being held there, currently without bond, for his third operating while intoxicated offense – a felony.
In April, the 59-year-old Miletich pleaded guilty to a DWI charge from September 2023 and was given two years probation. Miletich also was ordered to complete a drunk driving education course.
In March, Miletich had another incident while driving with a revoked license and pled not guilty. That case still is pending.
In 2021, after his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt at the U.S. Capitol, the LFA fired him from its broadcast team. His involvement in MMA since then has been minimal – though he did take a politically charged fight against Mike Jackson in 2023. For that fight, he arrived at the press conference just hours after the arrest for which he just made the probation deal. He lost that fight when he didn’t answer the bell in the third round.
Miletich first became known for becoming UFC welterweight champion and his Miletich Fighting Systems gym in Iowa that produced several UFC champions. But in recent years, the narrative around him shifted to focus on his right-wing conspiracy theory stances online and his multiple DUIs and regular run-ins with the law, typically involving intoxication allegations while driving.
Needs to get sober.
Drunk is Drunk
Glad he hasn’t hurt or killed someone. Sounds like he’s constantly intoxicated.
A lot of these people with over 3 or 4 DUIs have to just be drunk 50% of the time they are on the road. Craziness
Pat, BJ, Nick & Conor need a real world style reality show together
Dumb motherfucker lol
Like fuck man, stay at home or take an Uber. Hate to see the fall.
Does he work at an MMA gym anymore?
Pat needs an intervention
God please save this man
his right-wing conspiracy theory stances online?
