Tommy 'Gun' McMillen is making his UFC debut against Manolo 'Angelo Veneziano' Zecchini at UFC Vegas 116 on April 4th, and this featherweight scrap has all the makings of a wild one. McMillen's been grinding at Fight Ready, one of the best camps in the game, and now he gets his shot on the big stage at the APEX. Zecchini's coming off a rough night in Paris where Morgan Charriere absolutely destroyed him with body kicks in the first round back in September 2023. That was brutal to watch. Here's the thing about this matchup. McMillen's walking into the Octagon for the first time with zero UFC tape on him, which is both exciting and terrifying.
Expect fireworks early as both fighters know they can't afford to play it safe with their UFC futures on the line.
Zecchini knows what it feels like in there now, even if his debut didn't go the way he wanted. That experience matters, but so does the fact that he got finished early and only landed 9 of 41 strikes before getting dropped. The Italian's gotta be hungry to prove that wasn't the real him. The big question is whether McMillen can handle the moment or if Zecchini's learned enough from getting baptized by fire in Paris. Both guys are looking to make a statement, and neither can afford another loss this early in their UFC run. This feels like a fight where someone's getting finished because both dudes need it badly.
With less than a month until fight night, both featherweights are deep in their camps preparing for what could be a career defining moment. McMillen's getting world class looks at Fight Ready while Zecchini works to erase the memory of that brutal Paris debut. The featherweight division is watching closely because whoever wins gets a real foothold in the UFC, while the loser might be fighting for their job next time out. The APEX crowd is going to be electric for this one because debut fights always bring that raw energy, and Zecchini's redemption story adds another layer to an already compelling matchup.
