Those worried about Tony Ferguson’s health following UFC 274 can breathe easy.<\/p>\n

Ferguson shared the Octagon with Michael Chandler on the main card of UFC 274 on May 7. This event emanated from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Many expected a war going into this one and that’s what they got for as long as the fight lasted.<\/p>\n

In the first round, both men were swinging and connecting. At times, Chandler looked like he was swinging a bit too wild and out of range. A counter left hand from Ferguson dropped Chandler. This eventually led to “Iron” going for the takedown and scoring.<\/p>\n

Ferguson did some damage off his back, slicing his opponent open with elbows. Chandler returned the favor, cutting “El Cucuy” with strikes in top control.<\/p>\n

The fight went to the second round and it didn’t last long there. Chandler landed a flush front kick to the jaw<\/a> of Tony Ferguson. The former interim UFC Lightweight Champion was out cold.<\/p>\n

UFC officials had some good news for the media as Ferguson was discharged from a local hospital. He underwent a CT scan and the results were negative (h\/t Mike Bohn<\/a>).<\/p>\n
