Tommy
McMillen firmly believes he is the top prospect in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight division.
The undefeated 145-pounder will meet fellow unbeaten prospect
Marwan
Rahiki at
Noche UFC 4 on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Arizona, and McMillen
believes the matchup is exactly what he wants at this stage of his
career.

Tommy McMillen welcomes the Marwan Rahiki matchup at Noche
UFC
McMillen (11-0) has 10 finishes on his record, with his lone
decision win coming in his contract-winning effort on
Dana White’s Contender Series. When asked about facing a
dangerous prospect in his third UFC outing rather than a
less-challenging matchup, McMillen said he welcomes the
challenge.
“Yeah, you know I like to fight,” McMillen said in a recent
interview. “I want to fight the toughest guys to prove that I’m on
a different level.”
Rahiki (9-0) has earned finishes in all nine of his professional
victories and, like McMillen, is 2-0 in the UFC. The latter
believes his opponent’s confidence makes the matchup even 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 and just show
everybody like I am who I say I am,” McMillen added. “This kid’s
another prospect, so I’m gonna go out there and put him down, cash
another $100,000 bonus and just show that, you know, this is my
time.”
