Tommy McMillen will get the undefeated showdown he wanted at Noche UFC, but his opponent is bringing plenty of momentum of his own.
The MMA promotion officially announced Saturday that McMillen will face fellow unbeaten featherweight Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC on September 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
The matchup comes after Rahiki had been calling for a fight with McMillen for some time, and the two rising prospects will now finally settle their differences inside the Octagon.
“Gun” enters the bout with a perfect 11-0 professional record and a 2-0 start to his UFC career. The 28-year-old most recently competed on July 18 at UFC Oklahoma City, stopping Alberto Montes via third-round TKO after setting a new UFC record for significant strikes landed in a three-round fight with 252.
That victory followed McMillen’s UFC debut in April, when he stopped Manolo Zecchini in the first round. He originally earned his UFC contract by defeating David Mgoyan on Dana White’s Contender Series in September 2025.
Rahiki is equally unbeaten at 9-0 and has finished eight of his nine professional victories by knockout. The 24-year-old last fought in May at UFC Perth, stopping Ollie Schmid with strikes at 2:47 of the opening round. That followed his UFC debut in March, when “Freaky” defeated Harry Hardwick via second-round TKO after Hardwick’s corner stopped the fight because of a broken jaw.
