Tony Ferguson answers questions from the media at a press conference in 2018.
Tony Ferguson releases statement amid recent troubles
Tony Ferguson is in the midst of some troubles and allegations as his wife has filed a restraining order against him. Although no one truly knows what is going on, Ferguson’s wife did say he has been a great husband and father but unfortunately is not allowed to see her.
“Tony Ferguson is a good husband and good father to our son,” Cristina Ferguson wrote in a statement to ESPN. “The current legal proceedings are a part of a process to ensure that Tony will receive the help necessary to continue being the best possible, as well as to pursue his passion and career as a UFC champion fighter. All positive well wishes are sincerely appreciated and I hope our privacy will be respected.”
During this time, MMAJunkie reported that “Police spoke to an unidentified female who stated Tony Ferguson had “not slept for three days and was tearing apart the home” and “broke apart the fireplace and believed someone placed a (computer) chip in his leg.” An unidentified male who’d called the police said the fighter had told him “Someone was inside his walls.”
However, Ferguson seems to be in good spirits as he released a statement on Instagram to update his fans on what is going on.
