Tommy McMillen was rushed to hospital on Sunday after being found unresponsive at the Cake nightclub in Scottsdale, TMZ Sports reported.

He was taken to a local hospital and was in a stable condition when he was admitted, according to the report.

Welch, who coaches McMillen, later said the fighter was “completely OK” and had already returned to training.

McMillen has since posted his own statement on Instagram, writing: “Ready for a short notice call.”

McMillen, 28, has won all three of his UFC fights and earned a bonus in each. A protege of former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley, he was one of the breakout names of the 2025 Contender Series. His most recent fight was a win over Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC in September, which earned Fight of the Night.
