Tommy McMillen Volunteers as Backup for Volkanovski vs. Evloev Title Fight

Featherweight prospect Tommy McMillen has expressed interest in serving as the official backup fighter for the upcoming championship bout between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev at UFC 333. McMillen, who remains undefeated in his professional career, made the offer while preparing for his own featured bout this weekend at Noche UFC.

McMillen is currently slated to face fellow undefeated contender Marwan Rahiki in what is being viewed as a significant test for both athletes. Highlighting his confidence heading into this weekend's event, McMillen stated that he would be prepared to "dust any of those boys" should an opportunity arise to step into the title picture on short notice.

While the promotion has not yet designated an official backup for the UFC 333 main event, McMillen's proactive stance highlights the increasing urgency among rising featherweights looking to secure a path toward the division's top spot. For now, McMillen's immediate focus remains on maintaining his perfect record against Rahiki this Saturday. The outcome of that match will likely dictate whether the young fighter gains enough momentum to be considered for a high-profile role such as a championship backup.
