Ferguson (25-10 MMA, 15-8 UFC) suffered his seventh consecutive loss when he was dominated by Pimblett at UFC 296 in December, but the former interim lightweight champion revealed that he was compromised the entire time.
Ferguson took to Instagram to say that he tore his MCL in his right knee about a month before his fight with Pimblett. He recently underwent surgery to repair his knee, shortly after going under the knife to remove bone fragments in his elbow.
“”TunnelVision” 2 Weeks Before Thanksgiving I F*cked My Sh*t Up During A Practice Sesh, MCL Tear. I Kept It To Myself & Put It Behind Me Til After The Fight. I Trained Like No One Knew, Sh*t Hurt So Good. Three Weeks Before Fight Time Told A Few Of My Crew Nothing Changed. I Recently Took Care Of My Leg (My MCL) & Had Surgery Last Thursday One Week After My Elbow/Arm Surgery (Both Arthroscopy’s). Thought I Would Get Them Both Done & Double-Down. Got It Over W/ So I Can Do What I Do Best. Beyond Rage Is An Understatement… I Feel No Despair, Just Repair,.. All Of It -Champ -CSO- # 2 Weeks/1Week Post-Op # BeTheExample # NoExcuses NoPainNoGain MF’s # HealingFast # Proverbs24:16.”
