Ferguson (24-3), a former UFC interim lightweight champion, has not competed since finishing former champion Anthony Pettis at UFC 229 in October. Since then, โEl Cucuyโ has found himself in the headlines due to his strange episodes that landed him a psychiatric evaluation.
Fergusonโs wife, Cristina Ferguson, filed a restraining order against her husband for her and their two-year-old son, citing โthreatening and violent behavior.โ The case eventually came to an end after Cristina Ferguson chose to drop the temporary restraining order.
