Security had to separate Tommy
McMillen and Marwan
Rahiki during their run-in at the fighter hotel days before
their clash.
McMillen (11-0) and Rahiki (9-0) are set to collide in a highly
anticipated matchup of undefeated
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweights at
Noche UFC 4 on Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale,
Arizona.
Tommy McMillen details altercation with Marwan Rahiki before
Noche UFC 4
Bad blood is brewing between the two unbeaten 145-pounder prospects
and they've taken several shots at one another before fight week.
McMillen previously said he's ready to brawl with Rahiki in a
parking lot and doubts whether the Moroccan would be ready to do
the same.
The American now claims to have already had a run-in with Rahiki
inside an elevator at the fighter hotel. McMillen says he was with
his brother and his striking coach when he met Rahiki, who had
eight teammates with him.
“I popped up here in the elevator and that's the first kid I saw,â€
McMillen said at Noche UFC 4 media day. “He was there with eight of
his teammates and I'm sitting here with my little brother Jono and
my striking coach, JJ. I got right in his face; he tried to touch
me, I pushed him right out of my face. I told him he looks like a
scrawny little b*tch, Saturday night I'm gonna make him look like
my little brother… Security had to break it up. I don't like that
kid; he doesn't like me. He thinks it's all fun and games. I'm the
kid that would actually fight this kid in a parking lot. He's not
like that at all; he's a p*ssy. I'd assume he's not stupid enough
to think this is an act. I kind of just punked him in the elevator
with eight of his friends and showed him it's not an act. I'll
fight him in front of his whole f*cking team. This kid's not on the
same level as me.â€
Footage of the altercation shows both parties trading barbs and
gently shoving each other while officials try to separate them.
Both McMillen and Rahiki have two finishes each in as many UFC
outings. While McMillen has finished 10 of his 11 career wins,
Rahiki has never seen the judges' scorecards in his nine career
wins.

Kurtis
Campbell can't see his opponents clearly inside the
Octagon.
Campbell wears considerably thick-lensed glasses when out of
competition. The Liverpool native seems to be heavily dependent on
them, putting them back on immediately after his fights. Campbell
recently revealed that his eyesight is poor and that his opponents
appear blurry to him until they get close.
Kurtis Campbell explains why his UFC opponents appear blurry
across the Octagon
While Campbell tried contact lenses when he was young, he was too
nervous to put them in. The
Ultimate Fighting Championship featherweight eventually got
used to fighting without contact lenses and prefers it this way
now.
“My eyesight is really bad, but at the same time I love my
glasses,†Campbell told Ariel Helwani. “I would never change them…
I tried contacts when I was younger, but I was always too nervous;
I couldn't put them in. So, I got used to fighting without them and
I don't think I've ever gone back since. I've always preferred it
that way… Because of how big the UFC cage is, [my opponent] is
blurry and then once we get closer, it gets a little better.â€
Campbell (9-1) earned his UFC contract with a first-round technical
knockout win on
Dana White's Contender Series last year. He then suffered a
knockout loss to Danny Silva
in his UFC debut in London this past March. “The Pink Pantherâ€
rebounded with a dominant submission win over Trevor Peek
at
UFC Paris.
Kurtis
Campbell reveals just how bad his eyesight is and why he still
refuses to wear contacts during fights despite struggling to see
his opponent clearly:
“My eyesight is really bad, but at the same time I love my
glasses… Because of how big the UFC cage is, [my opponent] is…

One of the more anticipated fights of Noche UFC almost went down three days early.
In the featured bout of Saturday's fight card in Glendale, Ariz., Tommy McMillen takes on fellow undefeated featherweight prospect Marwan Rahiki. The two fighters have gone back and forth in interviews about each other, and during a run-in at the fighter hotel, the two fighters ran into each other, and things got heated very quickly.
Check out the video, captured by JTMedia on Instagram.
McMillen and Rahiki both were able to get a shove or two off during the exchange, which was separated by multiple different people on the scene, along with UFC security.
The 28-year-old McMillen has burst onto the scene in a big way with two finishes and two bonuses, including a show-stealing performance at UFC Oklahoma City in July where he put up record-breaking striking numbers in his victory over Alberto Montes.
Rahiki has also finished both of his UFC opponents as he prepares for a massive opportunity against Rahiki.
