Tony Ferguson got back into the win column for the first time since 2019, defeating Salt Papi in the Misfits Boxing 22 co-main event.
Ferguson came out looking to crowd Papi early, but it was Papi who landed the more impactful shots, including a booming left that buckled the former UFC star’s legs.
Despite things looking a little rough for ‘El Cucuy‘ in the opening round, Ferguson started to fight his timing in the second, connecting with a big left against the ropes. Still, the round was relatively close, potentially leaving Ferguson down 0-2 in their five-rounder.
