Tony Ferguson, a revered fighter known for his prowess inside the octagon, has unfortunately found himself entangled in legal trouble once again. The MMA fighter was recently arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) after crashing his pickup truck into two parked cars outside a Hollywood club. The impact was so severe that Ferguson‘s truck flipped onto its side. It even caused damage to rapper Cash Gotti‘s Mercedes in the process.
Ferguson has had a history of legal issues outside of the fighting world. He faced a challenging situation when police arrived at the scene. Reports indicate that he refused to submit to a sobriety test and displayed a significant level of uncooperativeness towards law enforcement officials. These actions only added to the severity of his charges and cast a cloud of uncertainty over his future.

The UFC star faced a misdemeanor DUI charge and the impending threat of a license suspension. Because of this, many fans and observers expected Ferguson to remain locked up for some time. However, things might have taken an unexpected turn.
Just a few hours ago, Ferguson posted a story on his official Instagram account. In the video, Ferguson is apparently going on a jog. He has even added an ‘Ask Me A Question’ option to the story, using which his fans can ask him questions.
This left many perplexed as nobody expected the UFC lightweight to be free of his legal troubles so soon. It is worth noting that Ferguson isn’t usually the most active personality on social media. His last Instagram post was 23 weeks ago! Posting an Instagram story and asking fans to send questions could mean that ‘El Cucuy’ wants to answer all questions about his recent controversy.
