Tommy McMillen and Marwan Rahiki will put their undefeated records on the line Saturday night at UFC Noche 4 in Glendale, Arizona. The featherweight matchup features two rising prospects who already clashed during a heated confrontation at the fighter hotel earlier this week.
McMillen enters the bout with an 11-0 record and nine first-round finishes on his resume. The 28-year-old from Great Falls set a UFC record in July by landing 250 strikes against Alberto Montes before stopping him in the third round.
In his UFC debut last April, McMillen finished Manolo Zecchini in the first round with a TKO. His recent performances have shown both finishing power and the ability to maintain high output over multiple rounds.
Rahiki Brings Perfect Finishing Rate
Rahiki comes into the fight with a 9-0 record and has finished every opponent he has faced. The 24-year-old fighter from Rabat knocked out Ollie Schmid in under three minutes at UFC Perth earlier this year.
In his UFC debut, Rahiki broke Harry Hardwick’s jaw while securing a second-round stoppage. His resume includes three first-round finishes and four second-round stoppages.

Despite his quick finishes, Rahiki has shown durability in past fights. During his Contender Series appearance, he survived being dropped multiple times before rallying to win the bout.
Betting Odds Favor Volume Over Power
DraftKings has listed McMillen as the favorite at -142, while Rahiki sits at +120. The over/under for 1.5 rounds is set at -180 for the over and +140 for the under.
MMA analysts have picked the fight to go past the first round based on both fighters’ durability. McMillen’s inability to finish Montes until the third round despite landing a record number of strikes suggests early finishes may be difficult at the UFC level.
McMillen has won five fights by knockout and five by submission, showing multiple paths to victory. Rahiki relies primarily on knockout power but has proven he can remain dangerous into the second round.
The pre-fight tension between the two fighters escalated during fight week. Both prospects have traded verbal jabs and engaged in a confrontational exchange at the fighter hotel.
McMillen recently called out other featherweight contenders and asked to replace Movsar Evloev at UFC 333. Rahiki has dismissed McMillen’s striking record, stating he has never faced power like his before.
The fight takes place on the main card of UFC Noche 4, which is headlined by Jean Silva versus Jose Delgado. The event will be held at Desert Diamond Arena on Saturday, September 12, 2026.
