The wife of former one-time UFC Interim Lightweight champion Tony Ferguson has filed a temporary restraining order against her partner, with claims of domestic abuse. Cristina Ferguson who lives in the Santa Ana area of California along with her husband and son, has ordered the restraining order on the UFC contender after multiple separate incidents occurred at their home since January. Ferguson hasn't been arrested nor charged with any crime but a domestic violence hearing is scheduled to take place on April 5th. 

Details of the apparent incidents are scarce as of yet but the order was issued after Tony took the pair's two year-old child back to the family home before changing the locks. Cristina and their son have since left the house after a police check up on Tony, and unidentified sources claim how he "had not slept in three days, broke apart the fire place and believed someone had placed a computer chip in his leg." The second source worryingly tells us how Ferguson had made the claim that "someone was inside his walls". A phone call was made to the police by Cristina Ferguson after leaving the family home, where she claims Tony "kept throwing 'holy water' at her". Ferguson has not been deemed a threat to himself or others after eventually agreeing to get an evaluation. UFC President Dana White briefly commented on the situation, telling how Ferguson was dealing with some "personal issues".

Ferguson himself tweeted; @TonyFergusonXT, "Anyone that wears sunglasses inside deserves to have that happen to them. Statement from @danawhite after my knee accident when I was wearing prescription glasses." It remains to be seen how this incident plays out but Cristina Ferguson has since released a statement via her lawyer regarding the ongoing matter; "Tony Ferguson is a good husband and good father to our son. The current legal proceedings are a part of a process to ensure that Tony will receive the help necessary to continue being the best possible husband and father, as well as to pursue his passion and career as a UFC champion fighter. All positive well wishes are sincerely appreciated and I hope our privacy will be respected".
