UFC fighter Tony Ferguson has been taken into custody after reportedly crashing his truck into two parked cars before it flipped over in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Street footage from LA shows the 39-year-old’s vehicle flipping to the left at about 2 a.m. near a Hollywood club. The former interim UFC lightweight champion is said to have suffered no injuries, according to TMZ.
No one else was injured in the car accident.
What’s more is that Ferguson apparently refused to take a breathalyzer test and allegedly “didn’t cooperate” with police.
He was suspected of being drunk behind the wheel after officials noticed his breath smelled of alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot.
Tony Ferguson was arrested for crashing his car after allegedly driving drunk
The mixed martial arts veteran was arrested at the scene and could be slapped with a misdemeanor DUI, as well as a license suspension for refusing the order to take a sobriety test.
Rapper Cash Gotti told TMZ that he found his Mercedes completely destroyed after he left the club. His luxury car was one of two vehicles reportedly hit by Ferguson.
Sunday’s car accident comes nearly eight months after Ferguson came out of a fight against Nate Diaz with a horrific leg wound.
The California native replaced Khamza Chimaev at the last minute to face Diaz in September 2022, as the Russian-born Swede failed to meet the requirement to weigh at least 186 pounds.
Ferguson began his mixed martial arts career in 2008 and has been with the UFC since winning the Ultimate Fight 13 against Ramsey Nijem in 2011.
He won 25 of his 33 fights – 12 of them by knockout, eight by submission and five by decision.
