  "account": "Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - On July 17, Tommy McMillen took center stage at UFC Fight Night ceremonial weigh-ins. The 28-year-old fighter, once the protege of former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley, is set for his most challenging fight yet. McMillen made a call for a spot on the card following a record-breaking performance in stopping Alberto Montes at UFC Oklahoma City in July. Since then, he has signed with the Contender Series and made a strong debut with a first-round finish against Manolo Zecchini at UFC Vegas 115.\n\nRahiki, the 24-year-old opponent, has quickly made his mark in the octagon with an aggressive finishing style. He boasts a pair of stoppage wins over Harry Hardwick and Ollie Schmid. Noche UFC, the annual event produced by UFC's broadcast partner Paramount+, features a featherweight showdown between Jean Silva and Yair Rodriguez. McMillen's wish is set to be granted as he prepares for a fight against Rahiki, his toughest test to date.",
