The restraining order case against Tony Ferguson has come to an end.
The wife of the UFC star, Cristina Ferguson, filed a request for a temporary restraining order against Ferguson for her and their 2-year-old son March 13 in Orange County (Calif. ) family court, citing “threatening and violent behavior.” A hearing in the case was scheduled for April 5, but that did not happen, per Cristina Ferguson’s counsel’s request, and the temporary restraining order has expired, per court documents obtained by MMA Fighting.
“There are no matters pending in this case,” Cristina Ferguson’s attorney Jeffery L. Heath wrote in an e-mail.
No reason was given and Heath did not respond to further inquiries.
In her initial statement to the media last month, Cristina Ferguson wrote that she filed for the temporary restraining order in an effort to get her husband “the help necessary to continue being the best possible, as well as to pursue his passion and career as a UFC champion.” In her court filing, Cristina Ferguson requested that Tony Ferguson “undergo a psychiatric evaluation and follow any and all prescribed course of treatment and medication.”
“Tony Ferguson is a good husband and good father to our son,” the original statement read. “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, 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.”
