Fight Result: Cejudo vs Walton

There wasn't a lot of drama during the four-round fight, but Cejudo kept his Misfits viability alive with a split decision over Walton.

He got two scores of 39-37 that overruled a 39-37 in the other direction.

"He's got a bright future," Cejudo said, "but I was just able to stick it out."

Walton was gracious in narrow defeat.

"If it's ever that close I don't think I did enough," he said. "I should have stuck with my game plan, what I was doing at the beginning, in the first round."

Fight End: Cejudo vs Walton

Walton looked uncomfortable with Cejudo's increased pressure as the third round began and the older man was initiating exchanges and landing, intermittently, the more visually impactful shots. Walton scored with a one-two with a minute left in the third, but he didn't follow it up and Cejudo landed a late counter right of his own on a Walton charge.

Perhaps sensing he was behind, Walton began moving forward to start the fourth and Cejudo was able to counter occasionally amid the onslaught. At worst, it seemed that Cejudo did enough in the middle rounds to warrant no worse than a draw, and if you believe his work was more impactful than Walton's in the fourth, he wins.

B/R's scorecard gave the final round to the youngster and has it even at 2-2 and 38-38. Cejudo, though, climbed the ropes as if he thought victory was assured.

Two Down, Two to Go: Cejudo vs Walton

The 20-year-old Walton, nearly half of Cejudo's age (39), was taller, longer, faster, and more active in the early going than Cejudo, who seemed far less comfortable in a boxing ring.

Cejudo landed one hard right hand about halfway through the round, but he didn't connect with anything memorable beyond that and took a handful of clean blows from Walton.

Walton, a lefty, began the second with a long right jab and had Cejudo reacting to feints with the right. Cejudo leapt in with a hard overhand right about 80 seconds in and was becoming more aggressive and effective in the back half of Round 2

Call it even, 1-1 in rounds and 19-19 on points, at the midway point.

Fight Start: Cejudo vs Walton

It's a new venture into the boxing ring for Henry Cejudo, who was a two-division champ in the UFC and an Olympic champion prior to that.

Walton, meanwhile, is 3-0-1 in the pro ring alongside an acting career.

Schedule Changed

Rather than waiting until 10 p.m. to walk the fighters for the main event, the ring walk for B-side Javon Walton began when he was introduced by Ray Flores at 8:38 p.m.

Hurry Up and Wait?

Settle in for a long stretch. Maybe.

Word on the street before the show was that the Henry Cejudo ring walk for the main event would come around 10 p.m. ET., which means thanks to three second-round KOs in four lead-up fights it'll be about a 90-minute wait before things get going again.

Unless the would-be schedule is adjusted.

Two-time UFC championship rivals Jorge Masvidal and Kamaru Usman got together for a chat in which a third go-round—this time in the boxing ring—was suggested, but Usman said he'd leave the boxing to Masvidal. After that, the signing of Amir Tyson, son of the former heavyweight champion, to the Misfits Promotion was announced.

Tyson said he'd debut in December and immediately challenged Misfits heavyweight champion Chase DeMoor, who climbed over the ropes from ringside, tore off his shirt, and stepped right up to Tyson, mockingly saying, "You ain't your daddy."

Not surprisingly, Tyson responded.

"I'm gonna take your soul, mother**ker," he said. "You're gonna find out. I'm gonna put you on the ground."

Fight Result: Tony Ferguson vs. Mahmood Sebie

The official time was 42 seconds of the second round and the TKO victory improved Ferguson to 3-0 in the Misfits Boxing ranks and allowed him to retain his middleweight championship with the promotion for the first time.

Now 42, Ferguson debuted with a third-round TKO win In August 2025 and won again by six-round decision in December.

"I needed something to wake me up," Ferguson said of the shot that hurt him early in the second, "and it did."

Fight End: Tony Ferguson vs. Mahmood Sebie

Ferguson moved forward behind a left jab and scored with a long overhand right early in the first round against Sebie, a former Pan American Games-level wrestler and veteran of nine MMA fights.

Ferguson appeared to be dropped by a left hand about two minutes into the round, but it was ruled a slip by referee Samuel Burgos.

"El Cucuy" rebounded and hurt Sebie in a corner, then dumped him to the floor with a hard right just before the bell. Somehow, Sebie rose and beat the count and came out for the second.

Ferguson was hurt again by a counter right early in the second and was on wobbly legs for several seconds, but Ferguson again rebounded, drove Sebie to a corner and delivered more than a dozen punches before Burgos stepped in to wave it off.

Fight Start: Tony Ferguson vs. Mahmood Sebie

It's been 2,667 days. Or seven years, three months, and 18 days, if you prefer.

But somehow it seems a lot longer since Tony Ferguson was on top, or near the top, of the combat sports world.

Back then, in June 2019, he beat Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone to stretch an MMA win streak to 12 in a row. Let's just say it's not gone as well since.

He was drummed out of the UFC thanks to eight straight losses—including five by stoppage—and has moved on to the Misfits Boxing ranks, where he debuted in August 2025 with a third-round TKO victory.

He's now the promotion's middleweight champion and faces Mahmood Sebie, who was brought in as a short-notice opponent during fight week.

Fight Result: Fox The G (Fox Townley) vs. Joyboy (Justin Ibarrola)

As first title defenses go, Townley had a pretty good one.

The 21-year-old Michigan native won 17 of a possible 18 rounds across three scorecards, sweeping them by margins of 60-54, 60-54 and 59-55.

He retained his Misfits lightweight title with the victory.

"I'm the champ for a reason," he said, "what else can I say."

Fight End: Fox The G (Fox Townley) vs. Joyboy (Justin Ibarrola)

It's hard to win a fight when you're not throwing punches.

And that was surely the case for Ibarrola, who was slower than his opponent, didn't move as well, and simply didn't move his hands enough to win rounds.

Townley was consistently awkward and only occasionally connected with damaging shots but was surely busy enough to stack up rounds—particularly in a short (six-round) fight.

The same sequences repeated down the stretch in the final two rounds and Townley looked on the verge of not only a win, but likely a 60-54 sweep of the scorecards.

"This guy right here," analyst Mams Taylor said, "is violent."

Three Down, Three to Go: Fox The G (Fox Townley) vs. Joyboy (Justin Ibarrola)

Townley, making his first Misfits title defense, was frenetic and bouncy at the opening bell while Ibarrola was settled and fundamental. Townley began scoring with hard left jabs and followed with a right hand about 80 seconds into the first round.

A poor man's Naseem Hamed, Townley continued to bounce in and out while firing hard shots and evading counters with unorthodox movement. Ibarrola seemed to be waiting for one hard shot and wasn't moving his hands nearly enough in Round 2.

Townley wobbled Ibarrola with a right hand in the third but a prolonged follow-up clinch seemed to negate the danger. Townley was faster with his hands and was able to strafe Ibarrola with hard shots from distance without concern about hard replies.

Fight Start: Fox The G (Fox Townley) vs. Joyboy (Justin Ibarrola)

Next up, it's Fox The G, a British-American YouTuber, against Joyboy, who's been a bare-knuckle fighter and is popular in the anime community.

They're fighting for the Misfits lightweight championship.

"I know how it's going to end," Townley said. "He's f**ked."

Fight Result: Cherdleys (Chad LeBaron) vs Dad (Nathan Barnatt)

Cherdleys, a comedian also known as Chad LeBaron, talked heavy trash before the fight and came out firing, but was dumped in a heap in a corner in Round 1 by his 45-year-old opponent billed as "Dad," but known away from social media as Nathan Barnatt.

Barnatt has been an active YouTuber since 2019.

Barnatt, clad in khaki shorts, battered Cherdleys across the ring with head shots in the second and drew a referee intervention at 1:19 of Round 2.
