Musumeci–Mitchell and Misfits Results Ground the News Cycle
Mikey Musumeci defeated Bryce Mitchell by unanimous decision at UFC BJJ 11. The featherweight grappling result sits at the center of MMA Zone’s roundup alongside coverage involving Tony Ferguson.
Ferguson subsequently retained his Misfits middleweight title by stopping Mahmoud Fawzy Sebie in the second round on September 26, 2026, in Miami. The result was recorded at 0:42 of round two.
The two events belong to different competitive records. Musumeci and Mitchell met in submission grappling, while Ferguson and Sebie boxed under the Misfits banner. Keeping those rules and outcomes distinct avoids turning a grappling decision or a boxing stoppage into an MMA result.
Event Context
The featherweight main event was one of several grappling matchups on the UFC BJJ 11 card at Meta APEX. Musumeci entered with a strong submission-wrestling reputation, while Mitchell brought his own established grappling background from MMA. The official result was a judges’ decision after the scheduled contest, placing the emphasis on positional work and accumulated scoring rather than a tap.
The judges’ verdict is part of the result, not a detail to be inferred from the headline. The reported scores show whether the panel agreed or whether at least one judge saw the contest differently. Where the scores are available, they are included with the official decision so readers can distinguish a unanimous result from a split or majority verdict. A decision also means the bout reached its scheduled conclusion; it should not be described as a stoppage.
