Tommy McMillen reveals Hunter Campbell’s backstage warning after wild celebration
· Yahoo Sports
Tommy
McMillen is fully focused on his
Ultimate Fighting Championship career and didn’t have
over-the-top celebrations for his recent victory.
McMillen (11-0) took on Alberto Montes (12-2) in a featherweight matchup at UFC Oklahoma City. "Gun" set a three-round UFC record with 252 significant strikes en route to a third-round finish. McMillen also earned a $100,000 Performance of the Night bonus for his win over Montes.
Notably, UFC executive Hunter Campbell was concerned about the unbeaten prospect ahead of his latest bout.
McMillen recently revealed that Campbell seemingly addressed his party habits before UFC Oklahoma City. He had also earned a $100k Fight of the Night bonus for his UFC debut win over Manolo Zecchini this past April and admittedly didn’t sleep for three days while partying in Las Vegas.
The 28-year-old has now revealed that Campbell was worried after hearing about his post-fight party binge and even approached McMillen to check in on him ahead of the recently concluded Fight Night. McMillen assured Campbell that he was “more dialed in than ever” and backed up his claim with a solid win.
“I f*cking partied for three days straight after I won $100K for the first time,” McMillen told Ariel Helwani. “Oklahoma City, though, we kept it a little more low-key. I heard Hunter Campbell was a little worried about me. He came up to me backstage after the face-offs because somebody had told him I’d been partying a lot or something like that. He was like, ‘Hey, kid, you good? You got a good head on your shoulders? You're in the right place?’ I was just like, ‘Oh yeah, I’m more dialed in than ever.’”
McMillen has finished 10 of his 11 career wins so far. The only time he went the distance was in his Dana White’s Contender Series win last year, where he came from behind after getting rocked and nearly submitted in the first round.
