Undefeated UFC featherweight Tommy McMillen has broken his silence after reports that he was found unresponsive in a Scottsdale nightclub, posting on Instagram that he is "Ready for a short notice call @ufc."
It was reported on Thursday that McMillen was found unresponsive in a bathroom at Cake, a nightclub in the city's Old Town district, in the early hours of Sunday, Nov. 9.
A Scottsdale Police Department spokesperson told TMZ that officers removed him from the bathroom and administered Narcan after seeing a white, powdery substance on the ground near him. He was taken to a hospital and was in stable condition when police checked him in, with no apparent life-threatening complications. The substance has not been publicly identified, and no cause for the collapse has been established.
His camp moved quickly to reassure fans. Tim Welch, McMillen's longtime coach at Red Hawk Academy in Arizona, posted on Instagram Stories that "Tommy is completely OK" and that he had been "training yesterday." MMA reporter Ariel Helwani also shared a message from someone close to the fighter saying he was doing well and had trained the day before. The UFC has not issued a statement on the episode, and McMillen has not commented publicly on the incident itself.
McMillen, 28, is 12-0 as a professional with 10 finishes. He earned his UFC contract on Dana White's Contender Series in September 2025, debuted in April with a first-round stoppage of Manolo Zecchini, added a third-round TKO of Alberto Montes in July, and beat fellow unbeaten prospect Marwan Rahiki by unanimous decision at Noche UFC 4 in September. He has banked a $100,000 bonus for each of his three UFC wins.
