Miletich Fighting Systems (MFS) is a mixed martial arts training organization headed by former UFC Lightweight/Welterweight Champion Pat Miletich. MFS was founded in 1997 by Miletich and combines elements of Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Western wrestling, Judo, Boxing, and Sambo. MFS is headquartered in Miletich's hometown of Bettendorf, Iowa, but has other locations across the United States and Canada. MFS boasts several former mixed martial arts world champions. Its elite-level fighters mostly compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship promotion. MFS fighters also fill the roster of the Quad City Silverbacks, a team in the International Fight League. In addition, MFS works with several law enforcement agencies to provide training to police officers and security personnel under the Controlled F.O.R.C.E. banner.
