To make matters worse, cops said the UFC star was “very uncooperative” during his arrest, according to a TMZ report. They also added that Ferguson reeked of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes.

  • Hope Tony’s alright
  • Idc who it is, how are you gonna feel bad for a drunk driver lmao
  • Why feel bad? He’s an adult in life there are choices and outcomes of those choices.
  • Don’t. He could’ve killed someone or himself. Throw him in jail he’ll be alright
  • He just wanted to test his truck’s conditioning
  • How are people defending him? If it’s a mental issue I genuinely hope he gets help. But in no way does that excuse him from driving under the influence
  • Really sad to see Tony like this
  • So we’re all gonna dog on Jones but defend Tony? I love Tony too but this is ridiculous and not the first time.
  • I love Tony but how can you feel bad when it seems he made the decision to drive after being inebriated.
  • Jon Jones type stuff
  • Damn this one got me hurting for real

What are your thoughts on the incident? How do you expect the UFC to respond to this incident?
