The UFC recently beefed up its heavyweight division with the signing of Adam Milstead (7-1).
Sources close to the situation confirmed to MMAFighting.com that Milstead penned a four-fight deal with the promotion.
Fighting out of Pittsburgh, the 28-year-old Milstead has won seven straight, all via finish (five knockouts, two submissions). He has finished his last three opponents with strikes in just over four minutes of combined fight time.
A lifelong athlete in wrestling, football, and baseball, Milstead played football collegiately at Geneva College in Beaver Falls, Penn., just a short trek from Pittsburgh. Once in the Steel City, Milstead received his introduction to mixed martial arts at World Class MMA under the tutelage Dan Roppo.
