Tommy
McMillen is fully focused on his
Ultimate Fighting Championship career and didn't have
over-the-top celebrations for his recent victory.

McMillen (11-0) took on Alberto
Montes (12-2) in a featherweight matchup at
UFC Oklahoma City. “Gun” set a three-round UFC record with 252
significant strikes en route to a third-round finish. McMillen also
earned a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his win over
Montes.

Notably, UFC executive Hunter Campbell was concerned about the
unbeaten prospect ahead of his latest bout.

and his comeback performance at UFC Oklahoma City

McMillen recently revealed that Campbell seemingly addressed his
party habits before UFC Oklahoma City. He had also earned a $100k
Fight of the Night bonus for his UFC debut win over Manolo
Zecchini this past April and admittedly didn't sleep for three
days while partying in Las Vegas.

The 28-year-old has now revealed that Campbell was worried after
hearing about his post-fight party binge and even approached
McMillen to check in on him ahead of the recently concluded Fight
Night. McMillen assured Campbell that he was “more dialed in than
ever†and backed up his claim with a solid win.

“I f*cking partied for three days straight after I won $100K for
the first time,†McMillen told Ariel Helwani. “Oklahoma City,
though, we kept it a little more low-key. I heard Hunter Campbell
was a little worried about me. He came up to me backstage after the
face-offs because somebody had told him I'd been partying a lot or
something like that. He was like, ‘Hey, kid, you good? You got a
good head on your shoulders? You’re in the right place?' I was just
like, ‘Oh yeah, I'm more dialed in than ever.'â€

McMillen has finished 10 of his 11 career wins so far. The only
time he went the distance was in his
Dana White's Contender Series win last year, where he came from
behind after getting rocked and nearly submitted in the first
round.

Brendan
Allen wants to add a win over a former
Ultimate Fighting Championship champion to his record.

Allen is on a three-fight win streak and is looking to enter the
title mix. He's now set his sights on former middleweight king
Dricus Du
Plessis, who defeated Kamaru
Usman at
UFC Oklahoma City. Allen has now claimed that du Plessis
“sucks†before calling him out.

callout

The win over Usman firmly put du Plessis back in the championship
conversation, especially considering he has two wins over the
current champion, Sean
Strickland. Allen sees “Stillknocks” as the ideal stepping
stone towards a title shot.

“DDP sucks end of story,†Allen wrote on X in an attempt to provoke
du Plessis.

He then called for a fight in October, accusing the former champ of
previously avoiding him.

“So are we [going to] fight October or are you [going to] keep
duckin? @dricusduplessis,†he posted.

Allen (27-7) is coming off consecutive wins over top-tier opponents
in Marvin
Vettori, Reinier
de Ridder, and Edmen
Shahbazyan, while du Plessis (24-3) bounced back from the first
defeat of his UFC career with the win over Usman.

Michael
Page has been trying to find marquee matchups in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship for a while, without any
luck.

Page (25-3) is scheduled to face Nursulton
Ruziboev (37-9) in a middleweight clash at UFC
Paris on Sept. 5. While Page acknowledges Ruziboev as a worthy
opponent, it's not the matchup “Venom” was eyeing. The Brit claims
he has been trying to find opponents with big names for his past
three outings. However, he has not been able to secure a desired
matchup in a while.

Michael “Venom” Page explains frustration with UFC matchmaking
before UFC Paris fight

The former Bellator
standout has openly expressed his frustration with the UFC's
matchmaking. Page believes he has reached the pinnacle of the sport
and is surprised by his inability to secure high-profile
matchups.

“In all honesty, it’s been frustrating,†Page told Ariel Helwani.
“I feel like it’s crazy that I’ve reached the pinnacle of MMA and
trying to get a name in the Top 10 seems very, very difficult… It’s
excuse after excuse. Then we send another slate of names, and the
same thing happens… Nursulton is a tough opponent. But I was
seeking bigger names, and I have been for the last three fights.
Nobody seems to want to step in there… I’m genuinely asking for
everybody. It just feels crazy that I’m competing in the toughest
combat sport in the world, surrounded by the toughest guys, and
it’s this hard to get those fights.â€

Page is 4-1 in the UFC, with his only loss coming against Ian Garry,
who challenges Islam
Makhachev for the welterweight title next. While he was known
for his highlight reel finishes in Bellator, the Englishman's
performances in the UFC have been lackluster and he's yet to find a
finish inside the Octagon.

Page also revealed that his upcoming clash against Ruziboev is the
last fight on his current UFC contract. While the 39-year-old hopes
to continue fighting in the UFC, he is not confident that the
promotion will be interested in a renewal.

Michael “Venom” Page voices his frustration
with the UFC’s matchmaking in his last three fights:

“In all honesty, it’s been frustrating. I feel like it’s crazy that
I’ve reached the pinnacle of MMA and getting a fight with someone
in the top 10 seems incredibly difficult.
