Tony Ferguson hints at UFC 229 return, says he is ‘waiting on opponent’
It has been almost a year since Tony Ferguson last saw action in the UFC. It was at UFC 216 in October, where he won he interim 155-pound title by defeating Kevin Lee via third-round submission.
“El Cucuy” was supposed to face Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223 last April, but a last-minute freak accident caused him to blow out his knee and pull out of the contest during fight week. But early last week, he claimed that he has already been given clearance to fight again, after just four months of treatment and rehabilitation.
