(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Tommy McMillen was an agent of chaos in his octagon debut as he invited a brawl with opponent Manolo Zecchini and made the most of it after scoring a devastating first-round knockout at UFC Vegas 115. A protégé of former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley, McMillen had a lot of hype around him coming into Saturday night but despite a wrestling background he was resolved in his decision to trade bombs with Zecchini from the first second of the fight until the last.
The featherweights were just throwing heavy leather from the jump but it was McMillen doing the most damage. He was relentless with his attacks and Zecchini did his best to keep up but he was absorbing a lot of punishment. Finally with Zecchini hurt and backing up against the cage, McMillen just started unloading a huge barrage of punches and knees until he scored a knockdown.
