Today\u2019s Misfits 23 event in Dubai is co-headlined by a middleweight bout between Tony Ferguson and Warren Spencer.<\/p>\n
Ferguson (25-11 MMA, 1-0 Boxing) will be returning to action for the first time since scoring a third-round TKO victory over Salt Papi this past August in Manchester (see that here<\/a>). The former UFC<\/a> interim lightweight champion will be looking to claim the promotion\u2019s undisputed middleweight title this evening at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Warren Spencer (2-0 Boxing) was most previously seen in action a couple of weeks ago at FCS 2, where he scored a second-round knockout victory over Sladan Janjanin. Prior to that triumph, \u2018The Mechanic\u2019 was coming off a submission loss to Dillon Danis in an exhibition MMA bout.<\/p>\n Don’t forget Tony Ferguson boxing again on Saturday pic.twitter.com\/rvuhI2lZHM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 SleeperKO (@SleeperKO) December 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Round one begins and both men come out in orthodox and begin by trading jabs right.

He\u2019s been using a ton of volume early. A big right hand stuns Spencer. He retreats and Tony smells blood. Warren Spencer desperately forces the clinch and then complains of a shot to the back of his head. We restart and Ferguson lands another big shot and down goes Spencer!

Spencer with a good right hand in return, but that is followed by another stinging jab from \u2018El Cucuy\u2019. Warren spits out his mouthpiece and apparently has lost a tooth.
