McMillen flips off Rahiki's corner mid-fight, wins unanimous decision at Noche UFC

Tommy McMillen turned a personal grudge into ringside theatre at Noche UFC on Saturday, flashing double middle fingers at Marwan Rahiki’s corner while dominating their fight en route to a unanimous decision victory that kept his unbeaten record intact. Both fighters earned a Fight of the Night bonus worth $100,000 each for their back-and-forth battle.

The gesture was not spontaneous. McMillen revealed at the post-fight press conference that one of Rahiki’s coaches had physically pushed him earlier in the week, a slight he was determined to repay once the cage door closed.

“He fcking pushed me earlier in the week,” McMillen said. “My coach Tim [Welch] is fcking crazy but I don’t even think he would push one of my opponents. That shit’s not cool.”

The tension had already spilled into fight week. McMillen described throwing a Twinkie at Rahiki’s coach during the faceoffs in what he framed as a sarcastic attempt to defuse the situation. “I was hoping to calm his ass down,” he said. “He was getting worked up, maybe he didn’t have any sugar all week.”

Once McMillen began to take control of the fight, he spotted his moment. With Rahiki unable to respond on the ground, McMillen looked directly at the opposing corner, raised both middle fingers, and followed up with a knee to Rahiki’s ribs.

“I look over, his coach is [standing there] and I’m going to try to be nice but fck that dude,” McMillen said. “Flipped him off, kneed his guy in the ribs right in front of him. I had fun. I got my get back on those fckers.”

McMillen showed little interest in burying the hatchet after the final horn, taking further aim at Rahiki’s team even as he acknowledged the fight itself had been competitive.

“They’re literally telling their guy to get up and fight back and he can’t do shit and I’m just laughing at them,” he said. “They’re headed back to Morocco or wherever the f*ck they’re from — a bunch of losers. I’m going to go party with my team and enjoy this win.”

The win extends McMillen’s unbeaten professional record and cements a Noche UFC performance that will be remembered as much for the mid-fight antics as for the result itself.
