TOMMY MCMILLEN has issued a statement on his condition following his alleged overdose.
The surging UFC featherweight contender was found unconscious by police in the bathroom of Cake nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona, last Sunday morning.
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.
