Tommy McMillen suffered the first knockout of his career — but it wasn’t inside the cage.
The undefeated featherweight was found unresponsive inside the bathroom of Cake nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona. Responding officers administered Narcan to counteract what they believed to be an accidental overdose, then had McMillen transported to a nearby hospital.
TMZ first reported the news on Thursday.
After making a splash on Dana White’s “Contender Series” back in late 2025, the Phoenix native jumped out
to a 3-0 start under the UFC banner with two knockouts, pushing his overall record to 12-0 with 10 finishes. He was not booked to compete at the time of the incident, having fought as recently as September.
McMillen, 28, is expected to make a full recovery though I’m sure this recent incident — which is sadly not uncommon among UFC fighters — is likely to hurt his good standing with UFC matchmakers for his inevitable return to action in early 2027.
