Tony Ferguson Stops Sebie to Retain His Misfits Title
Tony Ferguson retained his Misfits middleweight title by stopping Mahmoud Fawzy Sebie at 0:42 of the second round on September 26, 2026, at the James L. Knight Center in Miami.
The Fight and Its Context
Ferguson put Sebie down near the end of the opening round. Sebie recovered and briefly threatened the champion early in the second, but Ferguson regained the initiative and forced the referee to intervene with a sustained attack.
Sebie had stepped in after Ferguson’s original opponent, Kenzo Biyong, withdrew. The win came in the co-main event of the Henry Cejudo–Javon Walton card, where Cejudo later won his boxing debut by split decision.
Event Context
The result belongs to a card built around entertainment boxing or slap competition rather than a conventional professional MMA event. The published event format and result should be kept distinct from the sport’s standard bout structures. That context helps explain why the article focuses on the specific contest, ruling or show segment described in the official record.
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.
