McMillen Faces Rahiki In Toughest UFC Test Yet

Tommy McMillen will face fellow undefeated prospect Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Ariz., per an announcement from broadcast partner Paramount+.

The 28-year-old McMillen, a longtime teammate of former bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley, called for a spot on the card in his home state after stopping Alberto Montes at UFC Oklahoma City in July. The finish broke a promotional record for quickest stoppage at the event.

Rahiki Brings Aggressive Finishing Style

Rahiki has turned heads with back-to-back stoppages over Harry Hardwick and Ollie Schmid since joining the UFC roster. The 24-year-old's aggressive approach has earned him finishes in both of his octagon appearances to date.

McMillen earned his contract on the Contender Series last September and followed with a first-round finish of Manolo Zecchini at UFC Vegas 115 in April. The Noche UFC card is headlined by Jean Silva vs. Yair Rodriguez in a featherweight bout.
