Conor McGregor, a rival of Ferguson’s, would take to Twitter to show the former champion some support:

 

Tony Ferguson is the type of guy that when all the chips are down, can pick them right back up again and come back stronger than ever!
Came back from a debilitating injury in record time to give us one of the fights of the year!
Let’s go Tony!!

Ferguson hasn’t competed since UFC 229, where he defeated former UFC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis by second round TKO. Ferguson was reportedly set to fight UFC Featherweight Champion Max Holloway for the vacant UFC Interim Lightweight Title at UFC 236, but was replaced by Dustin Poirier.
