According to reports, the cops administered Narcan -a life-saving medicine used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose – after noticing a white, powdery substance on the floor near the 28-year-old.

McMillen was unresponsive when he was taken to the hospital but was thankfully roused by medics.

Thankfully for McMillen, doctors gave him the all-clear to return home.

And early on Friday morning, the American issued his first public statement following the incident.

Along with a post-fight picture of himself, he wrote on Instagram: “Ready for a short notice call @ufc.”

MMA fans flocked to the comments section to send messages of support McMillen’s way.

One wrote on X: “Let’s go🔥”

Another said: “Lock in, gang. Need you in camp 🔒”

And another said: “You need to rest, bro.”

One remarked: “Take it chill, bro, I wanna see you excel in this s**t for a while.”

Another chimed in: “Stay focused, brother you got a mission in front of you!!!!”

McMillen’s post came after his coach, Tim Welch, issued a medical update.

He wrote on his IG story: “Tommy is completely ok. [He was] training yesterday.”

McMillen has gone a perfect 3-0 inside the octagon since punching his ticket to MMA’s top promotion on Dana White‘s Contenders Series.

He was last in action in September, scoring a unanimous decision triumph over Marwan Rahiki.

The UFC have yet to release an official statement on McMillen’s alleged overdose.
