Tommy McMillen remains unbeaten in professional MMA, extending his winning streak to 12 consecutive victories. At Noche UFC, the ACR Poker ambassador defeated Marwan Rahiki by unanimous decision. His impressive three-round performance earned him another $100,000 bonus, marking his third consecutive bonus. Despite the demands of training and competing in the octagon, McMillen continues to find time for poker.
The fight against Rahiki was a hard-fought battle, but McMillen managed to turn the tide and secure the 12th win of his professional career. After a challenging second round, he picked up the pace in the third, scored a knockdown, and kept the pressure on by combining effective striking with strong grappling.
The judges ultimately awarded McMillen a unanimous decision victory, scoring the fight 29-28, 29-28, and 29-27. The defeat marked the first loss of Rahiki’s professional career. McMillan admitted after the fight that he had thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
The win over Rahiki marked McMillan’s third UFC victory. In April, he stopped Manolo Zecchini before the final bell, then finished Alberto Montes in July.
The fight against Montes brought another notable milestone for Macmillen. He landed 252 significant strikes, setting a new UFC record for three-round fights. Following his latest victory, his bonus streak reached three in a row, bringing his total payout to $300,000.
Macmillen’s recent performances have also showcased different challenges. His run includes stoppage wins, a record-setting striking performance, and now a hard-fought three-round battle in which he had to rally and finish strong.
Noche UFC marked McMillen's second fight since joining ACR Poker as an ambassador. Poker remains a part of his life even while he is training before the fights.
During fight week coverage, McMillen was spotted playing online poker between training sessions. For the poker audience, this offers a chance to see how a player and a professional fighter balance two disciplines.
McMillen is not the only ACR Poker ambassador with a background outside poker; Rene and Casey Nezhoda, known for the TV show "Storage Wars", also represent the poker room.
