McMillen Takes Aim At Unbeaten Rahiki

Tommy McMillen says he wants the toughest fights available at featherweight, and he is getting one next month.

The unbeaten 145-pounder meets fellow undefeated prospect Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC 4 on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Arizona. McMillen told Sherdog that Rahiki's confidence makes the matchup more appealing. "This kid's a prospect, he runs his mouth, he talks a lot and that's the exact fight that I want to take head-on," he said.

McMillen Chasing Another Finish Bonus

McMillen holds an 11-0 record with 10 finishes, earning his UFC contract through Dana White's Contender Series. Rahiki has stopped all nine of his pro opponents and sits 2-0 inside the Octagon, same as McMillen. When asked why he pursued a dangerous test in his third UFC appearance instead of an easier assignment, McMillen said he wants to prove he operates on a different level.

He told Sherdog he plans to earn another performance bonus and show the featherweight division whose time has arrived. McMillen is chasing his third straight stoppage win under the UFC banner and has publicly labeled himself the promotion's top prospect at 145 pounds.
