Luke Riley predicts first-round KO of undefeated Tommy McMillen

Luke Riley, Paddy Pimblett's Liverpool-based teammate, has revealed plans to return to UFC action in December in Las Vegas and expressed interest in facing fellow undefeated featherweight prospect Tommy McMillen. When asked about a potential matchup with Sean O'Malley's teammate, Riley praised McMillen for elevating the division's profile while boldly predicting a first-round knockout if they met inside the Octagon. "Me and Tommy would have a great fight," Riley told Ronins MMA. "Look, I like Tommy. He's bringing the fire back to the division. I like what he's doing. So, me and Tommy would have a great fight. I would knock Tommy out in Round 1. 100%." Riley enters 2026 undefeated at 14-0, with two finishes in his three UFC victories since his promotional debut last year. His most recent outing saw him score a first-round stoppage of Kai Kamaka III in July. McMillen matches Riley's unblemished record at 12-0, having finished two of his three UFC wins since his Octagon debut in April. A Dana White's Contender Series signee, McMillen notably defeated fellow prospect Marwan Rahiki in a three-round thriller at Noche UFC 4 that was widely regarded as a Fight of the Year candidate, earning performance bonuses in each of his UFC outings.
