Tommy McMillen remained undefeated at Noche UFC 4, securing a unanimous decision victory over fellow featherweight prospect Marwan Rahiki. The two entered the Octagon with visible bad blood, but delivered an action-packed, back-and-forth three-round barnburner that earned Fight of the Night honors, handing Rahiki the first defeat of his professional career.
Despite the heated buildup heading into the matchup, the tension dissipated once the final horn sounded. McMillen (12-0) and Rahiki (9-0 entering the bout) seemingly put their feud aside, bumping fists and exchanging words inside the cage.
Speaking to Full Send MMA, McMillen claimed Rahiki appeared to be searching for mutual respect after the war. "He was kind of looking at me, pleading for respect," McMillen said. "I was just like, alright, like that was a pretty cool fight… F*ck outta here, dude.
Cause at the end of the day, even though I’m talking sh*t to these guys, if you go watch back, I’m smiling all the time. It’s all fun and games to me."
