Tommy McMillen sent the Meta Apex into a frenzy as the commentary team wondered aloud if UFC Vegas 115 marks the start of a new UFC star.
In his UFC debut during the main card of UFC Vegas 115, McMillen scored a first-round finish, defeating Manolo Zecchini.
Zecchini came out with an aggressive pace, looking to bring high-intensity action early with some flashy strikes. But McMillen was ready and had a strong counterattack, working Zecchini over with sharp combinations.
Zecchini continued to press forward, and he continued to get tagged. McMillen then ended things with a knee that sent Zecchini down before landing follow-up strikes to get the stoppage.
