McMillen Seeks UFC 333 Backup Slot, Dismisses Wrestling Tactics

Rising 10-0 featherweight Tommy McMillen, who headlines Noche UFC 4 in Glendale, asks UFC to use him as a backup for UFC 333’s Volkanovski–Evloev title fight, arguing he could win by imposing his own style and criticizing wrestling tactics. The brash 28-year-old has built momentum with two recent Performance of the Night bonuses (Montes in July and Zehcchini in April) and a Contender Series win in 2025, and is set to fight Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC 4 as he eyes a larger UFC ascent.
