26. Ferguson had the rougher path to his, getting dropped before turning things around and finishing his opponent by KO. Cejudo, stepping into the boxing ring for the first time in his career, came away with a win of his own in his debut. Both men are longtime UFC names better known for their work inside the cage than the squared circle. Ferguson built his reputation as one of the most durable and unpredictable veterans in lightweight history, while Cejudo made his name as a two division UFC champion before stepping away from mixed martial arts. Seeing either of them competing under boxing rules is still a novelty, and Saturday marked new territory for both. Our own tracker has Ferguson rated at 1412 Elo and Cejudo at 1420, both figures built from just four tracked bouts apiece, a reminder that neither man has fought with any real frequency in recent years. Those numbers reflect our internal MMA model rather than anything to do with boxing scoring, but they underline how thin the recent sample size is for two fighters who spent years as fixtures on UFC pay per view cards. For Ferguson, getting off the floor to finish his fight adds another chapter to a combat sports career defined by chaos and resilience, even outside the sport that made him famous. For Cejudo, a clean win in a first professional boxing outing gives him a result to point to if he decides to keep dabbling in the sport. Neither win changes anything about the UFC divisions they left behind, but both give their crossover ventures into boxing a winning start.
