Tommy McMillen will face fellow undefeated prospect Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC on Sept. 12 in Glendale, Ariz., per an announcement from broadcast partner Paramount+.
The 28-year-old McMillen, a longtime teammate of former bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley, called for a spot on the card in his home state after stopping Alberto Montes at UFC Oklahoma City in July. The finish broke a promotional record for quickest stoppage at the event.
Rahiki has turned heads with back-to-back stoppages over Harry Hardwick and Ollie Schmid since joining the UFC roster. The 24-year-old's aggressive approach has earned him finishes in both of his octagon appearances to date.
McMillen earned his contract on the Contender Series last September and followed with a first-round finish of Manolo Zecchini at UFC Vegas 115 in April. The Noche UFC card is headlined by Jean Silva vs. Yair Rodriguez in a featherweight bout.
