Earlier tonight at Noche UFC, Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki delivered a Fight of the Year contender.

Fight recap

In Round 1, McMillen started pressing the gas as he began piecing “Freaky” up while also using his wrestling pressure to bother Rahiki. Despite the early adversity, the Moroccan fighter refused to back down, and both undefeated featherweights traded nonstop, throwing heavy shots and pushing each other throughout the round.

In Round 2, “Gun” was having an even better round than the first. He landed clean combinations and secured an early takedown while piecing Rahiki up on the feet. However, in the midst of the chaos, Rahiki dropped him with a clean left uppercut and then appeared to gas himself out while trying to secure the finish.

Meanwhile, McMillen survived, and once he recovered, he started to land his own shots, scored takedowns, and threatened with submissions.

In Round 3, McMillen’s cardio proved to be on point. He dropped Rahiki, beat him up on the feet, and turned Rahiki’s face into a mess. He was also floating on top of “Freaky,” but “Gun” could not secure the submission finish.

Official decision: Tommy McMillen defeated Marwan Rahiki via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-27) at Noche UFC.
