The available profile data is not current according to the context provided.

Context & news

Both fighters are listed as orthodox. McMillen is announced as taller and with a longer reach, but Rahiki’s height is contradictory according to une source spécialisée and une autre source: 1,73 m versus 1,78 m. McMillen scenario: maintain distance, vary body strikes and attacks down the line, then aim for a KO/TKO or decision victory; his submission history represents a secondary threat, without any specific demonstration against Rahiki.

Rahiki scenario: move forward to nullify the reach advantage and force explosive exchanges leading to a KO/TKO; his ability to handle varied opposition, cage wrestling, getting back to his feet, and fighting into the later rounds remain unknown. Aggregated UFC statistics show zero takedowns attempted by either fighter in the displayed sample, and only one takedown défense recorded for Rahiki, which does not allow for a reliable assessment of wrestling or submission défense.

Neither has sufficient UFC experience over five rounds; the likely format is three rounds.

Matchup and opponent

The two fighters are announced for the UFC Noche UFC 4 card in Glendale, Arizona, on September 12, 2026, in the featherweight division. The official weigh-in on September 11 was successful: McMillen 145 lb, Rahiki 145.5 lb.

The three-round, five-minute format is probable according to MMA Index, but direct confirmation from the promotion and the exact fight time remain unavailable information. No replacement or short-notice change was identified, although this cannot be confirmed definitively.
