Sean O’Malley Says He Struck Heckling Fan With Cap During McMillen Walkout

Reported on his YouTube channel, the admission follows fight‑week run‑ins and raises the prospect of review by promoters or athletic officials.

Overview

  • O’Malley says he rolled his baseball cap into a ball and struck a heckling spectator in the face as Tommy McMillen walked out at Noche UFC, an incident he described in a post‑fight video.
  • The walkout episode took place at the Noche UFC event this past Saturday while O’Malley was cornering McMillen for the first time in an arena.
  • McMillen defeated Marwan Rahiki by unanimous decision in the same fight and their bout was awarded Fight of the Night.
  • The cap throw followed earlier fight‑week tensions, including McMillen throwing a Twinkie at one of Rahiki’s coaches, which led event security to pat down McMillen’s team before the walkouts.
  • There are no reports of formal discipline so far, but outlets note that footage or a complaint could draw scrutiny from the promotion or an athletic commission and influence how cornering conduct is handled at live events.
