Americas Cardroom Ambassador McMillen Remains Unbeaten After UFC Win

A third-round knockdown helped Americas Cardroom ambassador Tommy “Gun” McMillen preserve his perfect professional record at Noche UFC last Saturday. After a difficult second round, he responded with sustained pressure and effective grappling to defeat Marwan Rahiki by unanimous decision.

The featherweights met at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. Scores of 29-28, 29-28 and 29-27 moved McMillen to 12-0 professionally and 3-0 in the UFC, while Rahiki suffered his first professional defeat.

The contest also extended McMillen’s run of UFC bonuses. Fight of the Night recognition brought his third consecutive $100,000 award, taking his bonus earnings to $300,000.

“I had the time of my life in there,” McMillen said afterward.

His latest result followed two stoppages earlier in the year: Manolo Zecchini in April and Alberto Montes in July. In the Montes bout, McMillen landed 252 significant strikes, setting a UFC three-round record. At Noche UFC, his unbeaten run continued through the judges’ scorecards.

Away from the fight itself, McMillen’s poker interest was visible during the week. Clips showed him playing online between training activities, combining his enthusiasm for poker with his MMA career. Noche UFC was his second fight as an Americas Cardroom ambassador.

He has expressed interest in returning to competition before the end of 2026, although his next opponent remains unconfirmed.

McMillen is part of an ambassador stable that includes Rene and Casey Nezhoda. The duo bring their “Storage Wars” television profiles and storage auction backgrounds to the online poker community.

The tournament calendar continues alongside the ambassador news. Americas Cardroom’s OSS XL runs through September 29 and offers more than $50 million in guarantees. This Sunday, September 20 brings opening flights for the $2.5 million and $2 million guaranteed Main Events, priced at $2,650 and $1,050, respectively.
