"I think we've got a new superstar on our hands," Michael Bisping said at the conclusion of Tommy McMillen's stoppage win Saturday at UFC Fight Night 272 . McMillen (10-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) came out looking for war from the outset of his featherweight bout at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, and opponent Manolo Zecchini (11-5 MMA, 0-2 UFC) was happy to answer as they brawled in a wild and entertaining fashion. Zecchini could only take the damage for so long, though, and eventually McMillen cut him open and hurt him with multiple knees until he folded and curled up on the canvas, forcing referee Herb Dean to stop it by TKO at the 3:57 mark of Round 1.
