Mikey "The Eastside Assassin" Burnett is an American mixed martial arts fighter who was featured on The Ultimate Fighter 4. His UFC record is 2-1, with his last fight on January 8, 1999. He defeated Eugenio Tadeau by TKO (strikes) at UFC 16, followed by a split decision loss to Pat Miletich at UFC Brazil. The fight with Miletich was to determine the first UFC Lightweight champion. Burnett then won a unanimous decision over Townsend Saunders at UFC 18.
On The Ultimate Fighter 4, Burnett was eliminated in the first round by Din Thomas via a triangle choke. Late in the show, he was diagnosed with a neck problem that required surgery for him to fight again, which prevented from fighting at the live finale.
