Unbeaten UFC featherweight Tommy McMillen was taken to a hospital in Arizona on Sunday after police found him unresponsive in a Scottsdale nightclub and gave him Narcan, according to TMZ.
The 12-0 fighter was reportedly in stable condition when he was checked in.
A Scottsdale Police Department spokesperson told TMZ that McMillen was found unresponsive at Cake, a nightclub in the city’s Old Town district. Officers reportedly removed him from the bathroom and gave him Narcan after seeing a white, powdery substance on the ground near him.
He was then taken to a hospital. Police said he was in stable condition when he was admitted, and nothing suggested any life-threatening complications at that point. The report describes a suspected overdose, but police have not confirmed what the substance was. No official medical findings or statement from McMillen or his team have been reported, so the cause remains unconfirmed.
McMillen is 28 and fights out of Glendale, Arizona. He turned professional in 2019 and has won all 12 of his pro bouts. He earned his UFC contract by winning a split decision on Dana White’s Contender Series.
He made his UFC debut earlier this year, then beat Marwan Rahiki by unanimous decision in September. That result pushed his winning streak to 12 and kept him among the division’s more intriguing unbeaten prospects.
The incident leaves open questions about his health and his schedule for the near future. Any return to the Octagon would depend on his recovery and on how the UFC and its anti-doping partners handle the situation. The UFC has not commented publicly, based on the information available.
For now, the focus is on McMillen’s well-being. Overdose scares can turn serious quickly, and the fact that police were able to act fast with Narcan may have mattered.
