Great Falls native Tommy McMillen, a 26-year-old undefeated professional fighter, is on the cusp of achieving his lifelong dream of fighting in the UFC. Despite a setback due to a shoulder injury, McMillen remains focused on his goal and is determined to return to competition in the winter. Trained by UFC champion Sean O’Malley and fellow fighter Tim Welch, McMillen is eager to follow in their footsteps and become a champion himself.
McMillen’s ultimate goal extends beyond personal success, as he hopes to open a gym in Great Falls to provide kids with an outlet for martial arts and valuable life lessons. He credits mixed martial arts for teaching him important skills and wants to give back to his community by providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to train and grow.
While O’Malley will defend his title at UFC 306, he has expressed confidence in McMillen’s abilities and expects to see him in the UFC soon. McMillen’s determination, talent, and support system have positioned him as a rising star in the world of mixed martial arts. With a strong work ethic and a commitment to giving back, McMillen is not just fighting for his own success but for the hope and future of aspiring fighters in Montana.
