Tony Ferguson Says He’s Passed His “Med Eval”

It remains to be seen when Tony Ferguson will return to the cage, following news of the personal and legal issues the renowned fighter’s been having. But, it looks like “El Cucuy” is planning to fight in the not too distant future.

Last month it was reported that Ferguson’s wife had filed for a restraining order against the lightweight, due to allegations that the fighter had been acting erratically. Since then, Ferguson has reported he’s getting the help that he needs, and more recently, he tweeted this:

Passed my Med Eval last week. I’m excited about retaining my ufc Lightweight Status that was stripped due to injury. Khabib not actively competing over some time should be stripped. A high Rank title fight/superfight between @TeamKhabib & I is what the fans want #defendorvacate

So, we’ll see what happens here. Since Dustin Poirier is fighting Max Holloway for the interim lightweight title this Saturday at UFC 236, however, it certainly looks like the promotion’s not planning on having Ferguson fight Khabib Nurmagomedov next.
