Tony Ferguson Arrested for DUI After Allegedly Crashing Truck in Hollywood


Ultimate Fighting Championship star Tony Ferguson is lucky he emerged uninjured.

According to TMZ on Sunday morning, Ferguson allegedly crashed his truck into a pair of parked cars in Hollywood, California. The lightweight was picked up around 2 a.m. local time for a misdemeanor charge of DUI, and according to the arrest record from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, his bail has been set at $30,000. TMZ subsequently stated that for refusing the field sobriety test, he might have his driver’s license suspended.

Ferguson was allegedly driving his truck by a Hollywood nightclub, where he struck the cars including one reported to be owned by rapper Cash Gotti. The truck flipped on its side and stopped moving. Remarkably, no persons were injured during the incident, including Ferguson himself, per TMZ. A law enforcement officer told TMZ that Ferguson “reeked of alcohol” while sporting “bloodshot eyes.”

A local news outlet of KTLA disputed the TMZ report on a few key details. The Los Angeles-based organization stated that Ferguson's truck struck four parked vehicles, not two. They also reported that one man was taken to the hospital as a result, where he was to be treated for unknown injuries.

“El Cucuy” last competed in September 2022, where he filled in as a late-notice headliner for UFC 279 against Nate Diaz. There, Ferguson fell short to Diaz in a hard-fought battle, and thus extended his losing streak to five. Once the owner of a 12-fight win streak and the brief holder of the UFC interim lightweight strap, Ferguson has not had his hand raised since 2019. That year, Ferguson was hit with a restraining order from his wife after a series of incidents where he claimed people were living in his walls, he was implanted with a microchip and he splashed his wife with holy water. Ferguson reportedly sought professional help to resolve these matters.
