McMillen Banks $100K After Three-Round War At Noche UFC 4
Tommy McMillen pocketed another $100,000 bonus Saturday night after surviving a brutal featherweight war with Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC 4 in Glendale, Arizona.
The undefeated McMillen pushed his record to 12-0 with a decision win, though he absorbed heavy punishment in the second round, according to Sherdog. MMA Mania called the bout one of the best three-round featherweight fights of all time. Rahiki never stopped pressing forward even when eating clean shots from McMillen, who earned the Fight of the Night award alongside his opponent.
Silva And King Collect Performance Bonuses
Main event winner Jean Silva banked a $100,000 performance bonus after submitting Jose Delgado with a rear-naked choke in the third round. Silva started slow in the headliner but finished strong enough to secure the extra payday, per MMA Mania.
Sean King also earned $100,000 for his featherweight debut. The 22-year-old prospect slammed Jessie Rosas on his head for a knockout finish just 36 seconds into the fight. King is now 7-0 as a professional.
Lightweight Tommy Gantt and kickboxer Yousri Belgaroui each collected $25,000 finish bonuses. Gantt submitted veteran Drakkar Klose with a reverse triangle choke, while Belgaroui improved to 3-0 in the UFC with a TKO stoppage.
McMillen faces questions about title contention after the win, though his next opponent remains unannounced.
