Ferguson was uninjured in the wreck but refused to take a field sobriety test and was “very uncooperative” at the scene, according to law enforcement officials. One officer revealed that Ferguson also “reeked” of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes. He was arrested with bail set at $30,000 but was later released on his own recognizance. Ferguson is due back in court for a hearing later this month, according to the report.
Despite this recent mishap, it was recently announced that Ferguson will square off against Bobby Green at UFC 291 in Salt Lake City, Utah, on July 29. “El Cucuy,” who once won 12 consecutive UFC bouts from 2013 to 2019, has fallen on hard times in recent years. Ferguson in winless in his last five Octagon appearances, including a fourth-round submission defeat to Nate Diaz in his most recent outing at UFC 279 this past September.
