Earns contract in DWCS war
McMillen defeated David Mgoyan via majority decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-28) at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. After the show, he was one of four fighters to be awarded an official UFC contract.
ANALYSIS
This was an all-out slugfest that McMillen started slowly, dropping the first round unanimously and even falling 10-8 on Sal D'Amato's scorecard. He battled back, however, winning the significant strike tally in Rounds 2 and 3, including an astounding 77 significant strikes landed in Round 3 alone. He gets the win and the contract, but considering he learned the news from a hospital bed, it may be some time before we see the 27-year-old featherweight make his official company debut.
