The ACR Poker ambassador stayed perfect against Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC and has already said he would like to fight again before the end of 2026.
Tommy “Gun” McMillen is still undefeated, and the ACR Poker ambassador’s UFC bonus streak is still intact.
McMillen moved to 12-0 as a professional on September 12 with a unanimous-decision win over Marwan Rahiki at Noche UFC in Glendale, Arizona. It was his third UFC victory in as many appearances, and the bout earned Fight of the Night honors along with another $100,000 bonus.
That makes three consecutive $100,000 UFC bonuses for McMillen and $300,000 in bonus earnings so far. For poker players who have been following him since he joined ACR Poker, his latest fight added another chapter to a run that has been hard to ignore.
A Perfect Record Survives a Tough Fight
This one was not a walkover. McMillen had to get through a difficult second round before swinging the fight back in his direction.
He came out in the third with a knockdown, kept the pressure on and mixed in effective grappling as the fight went to the scorecards. The judges had it 29-28, 29-28 and 29-27 for McMillen, giving Rahiki the first loss of his professional career.
McMillen summed up the experience simply afterward: “I had the time of my life in there.”
Three UFC Fights, Three Straight Bonuses
The result keeps McMillen’s UFC start perfect at 3-0. Before the Rahiki decision, he had stoppage wins over Manolo Zecchini in April and Alberto Montes in July.
The Montes fight came with a striking mark of its own. McMillen landed 252 significant strikes, a UFC three-round record. Now he has followed that performance with another win and another six-figure bonus, even though this time he needed the judges to get there.
That variety is part of what makes the 12-0 record stand out. His recent run has included stoppages, a record-setting striking performance and now a three-round fight in which he had to recover from adversity and finish strong.
Poker Has Become Part of Fight Week
Noche UFC was McMillen’s second fight as an ACR Poker ambassador, and the poker connection has also been visible during fight week.
Fight-week clips showed McMillen playing online between training activities, giving poker fans a glimpse of how the game fits around his MMA schedule. It is a natural crossover for an ambassador who has made no secret of his enthusiasm for poker while continuing to build his fighting career.
McMillen is not the only ACR Poker ambassador with a background outside poker. “Storage Wars” personalities Rene and Casey Nezhoda are also ambassadors, bringing their television and storage-auction backgrounds into the site’s online poker community.
There Is Plenty Happening on the Poker Side Too
McMillen’s win lands in the middle of a packed stretch for ACR Poker players. OSS XL runs through September 29 with more than $50 million guaranteed, and the next few days bring new Main Event flights and the start of Second Mortgage Week.
Sunday, September 20 is the opening-flight day for the $2.5 million guaranteed Main Event with a $2,650 buy-in and the $2 million guaranteed Main Event with a $1,050 buy-in. It also brings the second starting flight for the $66 buy-in Main Event, which carries a $500,000 guarantee.
Then the stakes climb again on Monday, September 21. Second Mortgage Week begins inside OSS XL with 10 high-stakes events running through September 28 and buy-ins ranging from $5,200 all the way to $25,500.
So if you have been following McMillen through ACR Poker, there is a lot going on in both halves of that crossover right now: an undefeated ambassador coming off another UFC bonus and a tournament schedule moving into a stretch with multiple Main Event flights and Second Mortgage Week.
What Is Next for McMillen?
McMillen has expressed interest in getting back into the cage before the end of 2026, but there is no confirmed opponent yet.
Whenever the next fight comes, he will enter it with a 12-0 professional record, a 3-0 UFC mark and three consecutive $100,000 bonuses behind him. Until an opponent is confirmed, the only missing piece is who will be standing across the cage from him next.
