Somehow, Tommy McMillen vs. Marwan Rahiki was even better than advertised.
The featherweight fight was a prominent one on the Noche UFC card, an early pick for Fight of the Night ahead of the event. And it was just that, earning the post-fight bonus after a three-round war that saw both fighters with chances to win.
Rahiki had McMillen badly hurt and on skates in the second round. Yet he emptied the tank while pursuing the finish without actually managing to put McMillen, a training partner of Sean O’Malley, away. McMillen would later have a submission opportunity or two, but likewise couldn’t finish Rahiki, instead winning a hard-fought unanimous decision.
Performance of the Night bonuses at this year’s Noche UFC event went to headliner Jean Silva, and newcomer Sean King III. King’s fight, which lasted all of 36 seconds, saw him slam fellow debuting featherweight Jessie Rosas, then land a trio of punches that were barely necessary. As for Silva, after being knocked down in the opening round by Jose Delgado, he found the rear-naked choke in the third.
$100,000 goes to all four bonus winning fighters at Noche UFC. For their own stoppages, Thomas Gantt and Yousri Belgaroui earn $25,000 finishing bonuses.
