"Freaky" is looking to put someone's lights out.
Two of Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC) most exciting undefeated Featherweight prospects, Marwan Rahiki and Tommy McMillen, will collide in the "Featured Fight" of Noche UFC 4 this weekend (Sat., Sept. 12, 2026) inside Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
And the buildup has been heated, to say the least (details here).
McMillen made UFC history in his most recent appearance. In just his second Octagon outing, "Tommy Gunz" landed a ridiculous 252 significant strikes on 517 attempts, breaking the three-round promotional record previously held by Nate Diaz.
That total also ranks third all-time in UFC history, trailing only Max Holloway's absurd beatdown of Calvin Kattar (290) and Rob Font's losing effort against Marlon Vera (271).

Egypt accused Fifa of rigging the World Cup in Argentina’s favour after Lionel Messi inspired the holders to a stunning 3-2 comeback in the last 16.
Coach Hossam Hassan said his nation had been the victims of an “injustice”, while striker Mostafa Zico claimed the competition had been “fixed”.
Egypt’s fury centred around two incidents: first a goal they had disallowed owing to a foul in the build-up, then a goal scored by Argentina despite a similar foul.
With the score at 1-0 to Egypt, Zico thought he had doubled the lead with one of the goals of the tournament. He finished off a fine flowing move, following a pass from Mohamed Salah. However, celebrations were cut short when the VAR ruled that there had been a foul 17 seconds before the ball went in the net. The officials ruled that Marwan Attia had stepped on Lisandro Martínez at the opposite end of the pitch. Replays showed contact was minimal.
At the start of the World Cup, referees were told to allow normal football contact to increase tempo in matches.

The Egyptian men’s soccer team thinks a higher power interceded in their 3-2 loss to Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16.
Not God, perhaps, but FIFA.
The African side was up 1-0 when Haissem Hassan passed the ball to Mo Salah, who slid it over to Mostafa Ziko for a goal at the 58-minute mark. However, video-assisted replay (VAR) showed that Egypt’s Marwan Attia got tied up with Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez on the other side of the pitch. It was ruled a foul retroactively, and the goal was disallowed.
The decision was met with immediate criticism, including from Fox commentators, for overstepping VAR’s intended purpose. Egypt appeared to get karmic payback a few minutes later when they scored again and this time it counted.
However, Lionel Messi and the defending World Cup champions staged a furious late comeback, eventually winning 3-2 with a game-winner in stoppage time.

Throughout the 2026 World Cup, VAR has been at the center of the tournament, and not for all the right reasons.
Decisions based on VAR have been labeled as inconsistent, including with Folarin Balogun's red card review, and it happened again on Tuesday, with referee Francois Letexier calling off a second Egypt goal thanks to an Argentina toe stepped on by Marwan Attia that ended up being a foul.
Fox ******* yst Rob Green immediately ripped VAR as the replay wiped out the goal (although Egypt would score not too soon after that). Here's what he had to say:
"100 yards away, someone stepping on someone's toe is not why VAR was brought into the game. We've got to a point now where it's reaching far beyond the powers that it should have. The referee saw the tackle, decided not to give it, and then Egypt with a brilliant breakaway goal have been denied a two-goal cushion."
Well said. We'll see if VAR keeps being the focal point of furious fans.

Morocco face Canada at Houston Stadium on Saturday evening in the World Cup round of 16, with a place in the quarter-finals against Paraguay or France on the line.
Mohamed Ouahbi's side beat the Netherlands on penalties after a dramatic last-32 tie, Issa Diop heading in a 91st-minute equaliser before the Atlas Lions won the shootout 3–2.
Morocco are unbeaten in nine consecutive competitive matches, concede very little, and have a squad packed with Premier League and European quality. Canada are the underdogs. Morocco have won three of the four previous meetings between the sides.
Ouahbi is expected to have a fully-fit squad available for the round of 16. The one fitness concern from the Netherlands match has been resolved. Chadi Riad was substituted at 75 minutes after a knock but made a rapid return to full training and is expected to start at centre-back alongside Issa Diop. Redouane Halhal and Marwane Saadane remain available as defensive cover should Riad face any late setback.
Ismael Saibari starts up front. The 25-year-old, who signed for Bayern Munich in the days immediately following the Netherlands victory, scored three goals in Morocco's group-stage campaign and added the winning penalty in the shootout. His movement, finishing and set-piece delivery have been central to everything Morocco have done in attack.
