\nMcMillen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rahiki recently admitted he was surprised when he was offered the
\nfight, but is grateful to the

Marwan Rahiki predicts first-round knockout against Tommy
\nMcMillen at Noche UFC 4<\/h2>\n

Ahead of their clash at
\nNoche UFC 4<\/a> on Sept. 12 at Desert Diamond Arena, Glendale,
\nArizona, Rahiki (9-0) revealed his initial reaction to the booking
\nagainst McMillen (11-0).<\/p>\n

\u201cI was just a fan. I was like, \u2018No way! Like really? Like
\nseriously?\u2019\u201d Rahiki said in a recent interview. \u201cI appreciate that
\nfrom the UFC. Calling me out for a fight like this, lets me know
\nthat they care and they can see the potential of a superstar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rahiki then broke down the matchup, highlighting his advantages
\nover McMillen. \u201cFreaky\u201d foresees an early finish, which he believes
\nwarrants a shot at a Top 15 featherweight.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest with you, I think my striking skill is just so much
\nbetter,\u201d Rahiki added. \u201cI\u2019ll be quicker than anyone that he ever
\nfaced. I\u2019ll be more powerful than anyone he ever faced, bigger than
\nanyone he ever faced and that\u2019s gonna play a big factor in this
\nfight. I\u2019m just gonna knock him out. That\u2019s all I can think of. I
\ncan\u2019t explain to you how, but it\u2019s gonna happen. I think I go out
\nthere and knock him out in the first round. That\u2019s my plan. Just
\nput everybody on notice. Hopefully the next one will be someone
\nranked, then get up there as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n

\u201cI’m going to knock (Tommy
\nMcMillen<\/a>) out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nRahiki<\/a> is ecstatic about the opportunity at hand as he faces
