Sean O'Malley anticipates breakthrough for Tommy McMillen at Noche UFC

Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki meet this Saturday in an undefeated prospect matchup at UFC Fight Night 288. The main card event takes place at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Sean O'Malley, who trains with McMillen, expects the contest to serve as a career-defining moment for his teammate. While O'Malley acknowledged the technical skill of Rahiki, he pointed to McMillen’s cardio and pressure as potential deciding factors. McMillen holds an 11-0 record entering the bout, while Rahiki enters with a 9-0 mark. If McMillen secures a win and an additional performance bonus, O'Malley suggests it would significantly elevate his status within the division.
