Tony Ferguson’s parents want to know where his father is
The UFC and MMA fighter was born on February 12, 1984, in Oxnard, California. His mother Mary Padilla is one of his parents. His real father left him after he was born.
Tony’s mother later married Armand Ferguson, who gave him his last name and took care of all his needs and wants because he loved him more than anything else. When the famous athlete began attending school in Muskegon County, Michigan, his family moved there, and his stepfather took over the local bar.
Armand started Tony playing soccer at a young age because he was becoming shy and withdrawn. As soon as the boy started school, his father signed him up for the boxing club and later helped him join the basketball and rugby teams.
In the interview, the boxer, who is now a professional, thanked his stepfather for setting him on the right path and said his career was because of his father.
When Ferguson returned to his hometown of Muskegon, he went to work at his father’s pub. One of their clients takes Anthony to see where MMA fighters train, and Tony is so impressed by what he sees that he decides to try martial arts.
New information about Tony Ferguson’s family history and ancestry
People think the 38-year-old MMA fighter is more of a breed. His biological father is probably from Mexico, and his mother is from the United States. Because of this, Tony is of Mexican-American descent.
As already mentioned, he took his stepfather’s last name. His stage name, “El Cucuy,” comes from the fact that he is Mexican. It’s a Mexican word for a monster that looks like a ghost. When his teachers called him the “Central American boogie guy,” that’s when he became interested in the subject.
He is an American citizen in spirit. He does have some Mexican roots, though. In a recent post on Instagram, “El Cucuy” told where he came from. Tony’s stepfather is always there for him.
His stepfather was the reason why he was interested in sports. His father made sure that Tony had every opportunity to improve his sports skills and show that he was one of the best in the business.
Tony has 32 professional fights so far, and he has won 25 of them. As of 2022, he has a win rate of 78%, which is thanks to the foundation his family gave him when he was young.
People in MMA say Ferguson has one of the craziest personalities. At his home in Big Bear Lake, California, he builds his own special training equipment and often posts videos of his unusual workouts on his own Instagram page.
With his wife, Cristina Servin, how many children does he have?
According to his Instagram post, Tony Ferguson and his wife, Cristina Servin, have two sons named Armand Anthony and Angel Anthony. The MMA fighter seems to love his son very much. She often shares pictures of her baby on Instagram, which is a social media site.
Armand, his eldest son, was born on April 28, 2016, which means he will be six years old in 2022. Similarly, his younger son was born on May 31, 2020, so he is 1.5 years old now. He is very close to his two children and loves them no matter what.
On the social media site Instagram, he is known as @tonyfergusonxt, and his account has been verified. He is always adding new photos to his Instagram account, which has 2.5 million followers.
In March 2019, Cristina asked the court to stop Tony from approaching her. Cristina says that Tony has done some strange things, like being very paranoid, not sleeping for days, tearing out their fireplace, and thinking that a tracking chip was put in his leg during surgery to replace his joint with knee
Cristina asked for the restraining order as a precaution so she could get mental health care, even though she didn’t say he physically assaulted her. In April 2019, he revoked the order, and he returned to training for MMA.
Early years
Ferguson was born on February 12, 1984, in Oxnard, California. He spent most of his childhood in Muskegon, Michigan. His family is from Mexico. His stepfather, who was Scottish American, gave him the surname Ferguson.
Ferguson played American football, baseball, and wrestling at Muskegon Catholic Central High School. He was the starting defensive back for the football team that won the Division 8 state championship in 2000. In wrestling, he made All-State three times and won the 152-lb division in 2002.
Ferguson went to Central Michigan University after high school and then transferred to Grand Valley State University. He also went to Muskegon Community College for a while. He did not finish his degree, but had a successful collegiate wrestling career, winning the 2006 National Collegiate Wrestling Association national wrestling championship in the 165-lb division.
After college, Ferguson returned to California to be close to his extended family. During the day, he works in marketing and sales, and at night, he works as a bartender. One night, while Ferguson was working at a bar, a customer noticed his cauliflower ear and asked him about his wrestling background. The customer was a trainer at a local mixed martial arts (MMA) gym, and he asked him to help some young MMA fighters improve their wrestling. Shortly after this, he made the decision to become a professional mixed martial artist (MMA).

Ferguson took more than a year off from fighting to heal from an arm injury he suffered in his last fight. On October 19, 2013, at UFC 166, he again fought Mike Rio and won with a D’Arce choke submission in the first round. He also earned his first Submission of the Night award for the win.
