Tony Ferguson is the perfect embodiment of how tough a fighter can be. The UFC star has spent over a decade in the UFC, fighting with all he has. Not only did he put his body on the line, but his fearlessness evoked fear among his opponents. The visual of him dripping in blood is etched in MMA fans’ consciousness.
The former interim champion is currently in the twilight of his fighting career. He will square off against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 296. Amid the unfolding chaos of his fighting career, there is one person who has seen the humane as well as the freakish side of him, his wife, Cristina Servin.

‘El Cucuy’ is a family man, a loving husband, and a caring father. He officially tied the knot with Servin in 2012. While the American fighter has been in the limelight for the better part of his career, he has protected his wife from the public eye. Therefore, not much is known about Sevin, who the 39-year-old fighter once called his “biggest support system”.
The publically available details reveal Servin was born in August 1991. Further, she completed her studies at California State University. She also reportedly had a brief stint in modeling work in Mexico.
How did Cristina Servin and Tony Ferguson meet?
As revealed earlier, much information is not available about the pair. The fans can only speculate about their past before marriage. The couple presumably got engaged in 2011.
Furthermore, the fans can only conjure the kind of love both share, as the username of Ferguson, ‘XT’ represents the caring bond between them. However, their love turned sour with the passage of time, and things took an ugly turn in 2019. As opposed to their nature to keep things closed behind the door, the trouble of their marriage spilled out. Servin had filed for a restraining order against her husband. How did that happen?
When Tony Ferguson’s wife was freaked out by the fighter’s claims of being the “Second Jesus”
TMZ Sports reported that the Oxnard native had been struggling with mental issues since 2017 and was a victim of severe paranoia. Slowly, their home in San Ana bore witness to his outbursts.
According to Servin, her MMA fighter husband behaved like a “maniac”. He was tearing down the house as he threw and broke things. He was doing it to hunt down the hidden cameras and tracking chips. The dismal state of the 25-8 record holder was further explained by her, as she mentioned Ferguson called his son “Jesus Christ” and himself the “Second Jesus Christ”. She hoped to improve things, but the reality took an uglier shift.
Tony Ferguson’s Wife Filed a Restraining Order After UFC Fighter’s Drinking Habit Spiralled Out of Control
In March 2019, she finally filed a restraining order as a precautionary measure. Likewise, in a clip where she was calling the police for protection, she said, “I just want to let you guys know he is a professional fighter. Current one. I don’t want no cop to get injured or anything. Just send one”.
As she came forth, she also released a heartfelt statement. Servin called Ferguson a “good husband” and also a “good father” to their son. She further penned, “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.
