The Story
UFC featherweight Tommy McMillen says he is ready to fight on short notice days after Scottsdale police reported he was found unresponsive at an Arizona nightclub and taken to hospital.
Scottsdale Police Department spokesperson said officers were called to Cake Nightclub in the city’s Old Town neighbourhood, where they found an adult man identified as “Thomas J. McMillen” on a bathroom floor at about 12:50 a.m. early Sunday. The spokesperson said responding officers pulled McMillen from the bathroom and transported him to hospital.
Police said McMillen was unresponsive but breathing when he arrived at the hospital and was in stable condition, with no life-threatening complications believed at the time officers checked on him.
Days later, the undefeated 28-year-old featherweight posted on Instagram, writing: “Ready for a short notice call @ufc.”
McMillen’s coach and mentor, retired MMA fighter Tim Welch, posted a photo of McMillen on his Instagram Stories and wrote, “Tommy is completely ok and training yesterday.”
McMillen is undefeated with an overall record of 12-0, including five knockouts and five submission wins, and he has nine first-round finishes. The UFC featherweight is 3-0 since making his UFC debut in April, and his most recent bout was a unanimous decision over Marwan Rahiki.
McMillen does not have any fights currently scheduled.
