Former UFC interim champion Tony Ferguson found himself in trouble recently. On Sunday, TMZ reported that Ferguson was arrested for driving under the influence after allegedly crashing into two parked cars outside of a nightclub in Hollywood. Ferguson’s truck was flipped on its side after the accident, and the current UFC competitor was arrested after reportedly refusing a field sobriety test. The report also states that Ferguson was “very uncooperative” while on the scene but was uninjured.
An LAPD spokeswoman confirmed Ferguson’s arrest, stating that he was indeed arrested for DUI, and that he did crash his car into two parked vehicles, flipping his own vehicle in the process. According to online documents, Ferguson was arrested at around 2 a.m. local time and was booked just before 6 a.m. at the Los Angeles Police Department location in Hollywood. Currently, Ferguson is being charged with a misdemeanor, with bail set at $30,000, and has yet to be released.
Ferguson’s last competition was his submission loss to Nate Diaz in the main event of September’s UFC 279 event. The 39-year-old has lost five straight bouts inside the octagon, including being stopped by Justin Gaethje and Michael Chandler, along with dominant decision losses against Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush.
