Tommy McMillen (9-0-0) and Manolo Zecchini (11-4-0) will meet inside the Octagon in META APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Saturday night. The undefeated McMillen is among the biggest betting favorites on the card and will want to start his UFC journey with a huge win. The 28-year-old joined the franchise in September 2025, defeating David Mgoyan at the Contender Series via a unanimous decision. He’ll want to lay down a marker in the Featherweight class this weekend.
Standing on the other side of the Octagon is the 30-year-old Manolo Zecchini, who will be searching for his first UFC win this weekend. The Italian made his UFC debut in September 2023, losing to Morgan Charriere in the first round via a KO kick. Since then, he hasn’t fought in the franchise, and will be eager to take his chance this weekend. Zecchini is the heavy +800 betting underdog this weekend.

Our Tommy McMillen vs Manolo Zecchini Prediction
Both featherweights will be geared up for this defining UFC moment. We expect Zecchini to look a little bit rusty after spending a chunk of time outside the Octagon. Although his last UFC experience matters, the 30-year-old may struggle to fend off McMillen. He’s coming off a one-sided drubbing against Charriere, where he registered only 2.34 significant strikes per minute with a 21% success rate. He may not last more than two rounds against McMillen, who will be eager to prove what he can do. The American is popular for being an aggressive fighter with a trademark choking move. Overall, we’ll take anything that backs McMillen to win.
Our prediction for Tommy McMillen vs Manolo Zecchini: Tommy McMillen to win via submission.
