Tony Ferguson calls for ‘high-rank title fight’ with Khabib after passing medical evaluations

UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson is currently on a forced hiatus due to some personal issues. After his wife filed a restraining order in March due to bizarre incidents, “El Cucuy” decided to seek professional help, which according to him, has been going smoothly.

On Monday, the former interim 155-pound champion gave another update via Twitter, stating he had passed the required medical evaluations. He also demanded for the UFC to strip Khabib Nurmagomedov of the title due to inactivity.

Passed my Med Eval last week. I’m excited about retaining my ufc Lightweight Status that was stripped due to injury.
