UFC President Dana White has a different take entirely when it comes to Tony Ferguson’s Octagon return.

Ferguson, who hasn’t competed since defeating Anthony Pettis at last October’s UFC 229, has been dealing with personal issues. Many of the reports have been rather disturbing.

“El Cucuy” has, however, kept his fans in the loop via social media. In a post prior to last weekend’s UFC 236, Ferguson insisted he had passed his medical evaluations and would be back in the Octagon soon.

eporters brought this to White’s attention at the UFC 236 post-fight press conference. The boss insisted Ferguson is far from a return.

“I don’t know if Tony’s ready to fight, I don’t know if that’s absolutely accurate,” White said (via MMAJunkie). “We haven’t had anybody evaluate him yet.”

Injuries have impacted Ferguson’s career in several ways. For instance, he, not Dustin Poirier, was supposed to be fighting Max Holloway for the interim lightweight title at UFC 236.

“This was (Ferguson’s) fight,” White said. “This was supposed to be him and Max, this was his fight, and he turned it down. We’ve made it very clear that the winner of this fight would fight for the title. So that’s the deal. Unless something happens to Dustin Poirier. He gets hurt, he gets injured or something happens, he’s got the fight.”

Poirier went on to win the interim title by toppling Holloway. Now, according to White, ‘The Diamond’ will fight Khabib Nurmagomedov to unify the championship.

Where does that leave Ferguson? White made it clear “El Cucuy” won’t return until he is confident that Ferguson has handled his personal affairs. The veteran was once the clear-cut title contender in a stacked division. Now, his return remains uncertain.

Tony Ferguson goes off on two of the biggest names in the sport today.

Those stars are Conor McGregor and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was in the news this week after a controversial exchange of words on social media. The former interim lightweight champion has been consistent in saying that he will only fight for the belt and it appears that his latest attempt proves just that.

This rant all started once ESPN’s Brett Okamoto brought up the Westgate sports book in Las Vegas is accepting action on a Nurmagomedov/McGregor rematch. Ferguson saw this and as a result, went on a wild rant.

“You were finished… Tapped out & Quit like a bitch. Now you’re stepping on my toes you false idols @TheNotoriousMMA @ParadigmSM  @TeamKhabib Ready when you are Fathead. Don’t dodge me like #ufc209 Coward. No Loyalty to the game. -Real Champ Champ.”

“Can’t wait to snap you down to your knees @TeamKhabib I’ve got a special necktie picked out just for you.”

“Champ Shit Only. Have an Incredibly Phenomenal day! Remember to Smile & Share a Laugh my Crew. Stay Hardcore & try not to piss anyone off today unnnnnnnless it’s Mcnuggets or Team Fathead.  Go for it, That is all- Champ -XTA- Hometeam.”

It is expected that Khabib will fight the winner of the UFC lightweight interim fight between Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier at UFC 236. Thus, it leaves Ferguson waiting for a chance in line against Khabib.
