Since Scott Coker took over Bellator, they've tried to distinguish themselves by promoting legends fights. Using guys like Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock has been successful for them ratings-wise so far, so they are continuing the trend when Shamrock faces fellow UFC Hall of Famer Royce Gracie at Bellator 149 on February 19th.

In that vein though, it seems like another retired legend may want in on that action - Pat Miletich.

The former UFC welterweight champion and current commentator was working AXS TV's Legacy 50 card last night, and he interviewed Shamrock about the Gracie fight. In the midst of it, he actually asked him if he'd be interested in giving Miletich a shot if he won the February fight. Shamrock was agreeable to it.

As you can see in the video above, it seems like it's done in a joking manner at first but when asked point blank if he would do it, Miletich said he would indeed be willing to if Shamrock or Gracie was up for it and Bellator was on board. So it seems pretty legit.

Miletich (29-7-2) retired from MMA competition back in late 2008 after a win over Thomas Denny. He held the UFC welterweight title from 1998 to 2001, and was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame last year.
