TMZ On Sunday morning, Ferguson allegedly crashed his truck into a pair of parked cars in Hollywood, California. The lightweight was picked up around 2 a.m. local time on a misdemeanor DUI charge, and according to an arrest record from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, his bail is set at $30,000. TMZ later stated that for refusing a field sobriety test, his driver’s license could be suspended.
Ferguson was allegedly driving his truck near a Hollywood nightclub, hitting cars including one said to be owned by rapper Cash Gotti. The truck flipped on its side and stopped moving. Remarkably, no one was injured during the incident, including Ferguson himself, per TMZ. A law enforcement officer told TMZ that Ferguson “smelled of alcohol” while sporting “bloodshot eyes.”

KTLA TMZ disputed the report on some key details. The Los Angeles-based organization stated that Ferguson’s truck struck four parked vehicles, not two. They also reported that a man was taken to hospital as a result, where he was to be treated for unknown injuries.
“El Cucuy” last competed in September 2022, competing at UFC 279 against Nate Diaz. There, Ferguson failed to take on Diaz in a hard-fought battle, thus extending his losing streak to five. Once the owner of a 12-fight win streak and short holder of the interim UFC lightweight belt, Ferguson hasn’t raised his hand since 2019. That year, Ferguson was hit with a restraining order from his wife after a series of incidents where he claimed people were living in his walls, and he was implanted with a microchip. He sprinkled his wife with holy water. Ferguson reportedly sought professional help to resolve these matters.
