McMillen Seeks Short-Notice Fight After Nightclub Incident
Undefeated UFC featherweight Tommy McMillen is already looking for his next fight days after being hospitalized following a nightclub incident in Scottsdale.
McMillen was found unresponsive in a bathroom Sunday and treated by police before transport to a hospital, TMZ first reported. The 12-0 contender posted to Instagram this week that he's available for a quick turnaround. "Ready for a short notice call," McMillen wrote, per BJ Penn.
Coach Confirms McMillen Back In Training
McMillen's coach Tim Welch told followers on Instagram that the fighter is doing well and has returned to the gym. Teammate Sean O'Malley said he expects McMillen to be fine going forward but acknowledged to Ariel Helwani that the rising 145-pounder faces choices about his lifestyle if he wants to reach champion level.
McMillen earned a Fight of the Night bonus in September when he beat previously undefeated Marwan Rahiki by unanimous decision in a three-round battle. The win kept his professional record perfect at 12-0.
McMillen is ranked among the featherweight division's top prospects but has drawn attention on social media for his partying habits outside the cage.
