No one could believe it when Tony Ferguson, the former UFC interim lightweight champion, injured himself just days before UFC 223.
Ferguson, who was expected to face the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov for the undisputed lightweight title, slipped on a wire during a UFC 223 promo and tore a ligament in his knee.
It was difficult for many fans to digest, but ‘El Cucuy’ has the photo -- and video -- to prove the severity of his injury. The 34-year-old underwent surgery on Tuesday and posted an update on Instagram earlier today.
