UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson suffered an injury over the weekend that has pulled the fighter from his upcoming headlining match. Now UFC President Dana White has seemingly provided some details as to what may have caused the injury.

Tony Ferguson was initially set to face off against undefeated division contender Khabib Nurmagomedov for the undisputed title in the main event of UFC 223. Just six days out from the fight, Ferguson tore his LCL.
