Dana White Explains Why Tony Ferguson Is Mentally Cleared To Compete

UFC President Dana White explains why ex-interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson is mentally cleared to compete this weekend at UFC 238.

The post Dana White Explains Why Tony Ferguson Is Mentally Cleared To Compete appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Despite his recent personal issues, former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson will be fighting this weekend (Sat. June 8, 2019).

He’ll be taking on longtime lightweight and welterweight veteran Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. The pair will be competing on the main card of the UFC 238 pay-per-view (PPV). However, they will not be competing in the main event, neither will they be competing in the co-featured bout.

Two title fights sit above the pivotal lightweight clash on the card. One of the biggest stories surrounding fight night is Ferguson’s battle back to full mental health. There were some disturbing reports regarding Ferguson’s behavior earlier this year. However, it seems “El Cucuy” has put all that behind him for the time being.

Prior to booking Ferguson vs. Cerrone, UFC President Dana White wanted to make sure Ferguson was in the right frame of mind to compete. Speaking to TMZ Sports, White explained why the time is right for the No. 2-ranked 155-pounder to return:

“So, you know, obviously we know he went through a lot of doctors and – he’s done all the right things it takes to make us feel comfortable that he’s good to go,” White said.

“And, you know, we got together in Vegas, we sat down, talked for a while – I’m in a really good place with Tony Ferguson fighting, and like I say, “If your personal life isn’t in order, there’s no way your professional life can be in order.” Got his stuff together, and, it’s all good.”

While Ferguson might not appreciate White’s concern, he’ll make his return this Saturday nonetheless. When White was asked about there face-to-face meeting and if he himself felt Ferguson was ready to return, the UFC boss divulged that the doctor’s opinion is what really matters to him. Luckily, they gave the former Ultimate Fighter winner the green light to compete:

“Absolutely,” White admitted. “Listen, first and foremost, as long as the doctors say he’s okay, you know, then I sit down and talk to him, and, looks good to me.”

Al Iaquinta: Donald Cerrone Beat The Sh*t Out Of Me

Al Iaquinta suffered a setback in his quest to regain a lightweight title opportunity earlier this month (Sat.

Al Iaquinta suffered a setback in his quest to regain a lightweight title opportunity earlier this month (Sat. May 4, 2019).

“Ragin” was defeated by Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event of UFC Ottawa via unanimous decision. Iaquinta suffered a string of injuries in the bout.

During a recent appearance on “The Ariel Helwani MMA Show,” Iaquinta revealed that he broke his nose, fractured his right orbital, and has some deep bruises on his legs (via MMA Junkie):

“I broke my nose, I fractured my (right) orbital bone and had some deep bruising on my legs because of those kicks,” Iaquinta said. “(The bruising from the kicks) was brutal. I’m just finally starting to be able to move around. It took its toll. That won’t happen again, that’s for sure.”

Iaquinta then detailed how he believes he suffered his nose and orbital injuries. The lightweight believes a stiff jab from Cerrone may have broken his nose, and a shot in the third or fourth round nailed him in the eye:

“He hit me with a stiff jab that I don’t know if it broke my nose, it cut my nose open,” Iaquinta said. “He hit me with a bunch of shots so it could have been any one, he did cut me open; that could’ve been the one.

“I think it was somewhere in the third round where he caught me in the eye, the third or the fourth round. It definitely affected my vision, and it definitely was something tough to fight through. But it is what it is. I train to be in those situations.”

In the end, Iaquinta has no excuses for his loss, crediting the veteran Cerrone, and admitting “Cowboy” “beat the sh*t” out of him:

“I had every opportunity to win the fight, and I should’ve, but I didn’t,” Iaquinta said. “He beat the (expletive) out of me the way a veteran gets it done. He’s good, man. He’s good.”

He’ll be facing fellow fan-favorite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone at the UFC 228 pay-per-view (PPV). The action goes down from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Crazy enough, Ferguson vs. Cerrone isn’t even in a headliner or co-headliner role.

The PPV is co-headlined by a women’s flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Jessica Eye. Headlining the card is a bout for the vacant 135-pound title between flyweight champ Henry Cejudo and Marlon Moraes. However, Ferguson vs. Cerrone is being touted as the people’s main event of the card.
