Tommy McMillen is already focusing on his next fight following a scary report that the popular UFC prospect was reportedly hospitalized due to a drug overdose.
On Thursday, TMZ reported that McMillen was taken to a hospital Sunday after officers responded to call at a nightclub in Scottsdale, Ariz. The 28-year-old featherweight was reportedly found on the ground with a white, powdery substance around him, prompting the officers to administer Narcan, an opioid antagonist. McMillen’s coach Tim Welch
later posted on social media that McMillen “is completely OK” and had already returned to training.
Everyone appears to be on the same page, as McMillen also posted a statement on social media, writing, “Ready for a short notice call.”

McMillen burst onto the scene with a majority decision win on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2025 that earned him a UFC contract. A training partner of former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley, McMillen immediately drew fan interest, and has backed up his buzz with three straight wins to begin his UFC career and improve his pro record to 12-0.
He has earned bonuses in each of his UFC appearances, most recently winning his second Fight of the Night award after winning a unanimous decision against fellow unbeaten prospect Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC 4 in September.
