On the night of May 6-7, Ferguson crashed his car into several parked cars outside a club in Hollywood. The fighter refused a breathalyzer test, after which he was detained by police.
Ferguson had his last fight against his compatriot Nate Diaz at UFC 279 in September, 2022. In that match, Tony was defeated by a choke in the fourth round. Ferguson, 39, has 25 wins and eight losses under his belt.
