Video: Tony Ferguson shares graphic footage of staples being removed from injured leg

Tony Ferguson has made sure to keep us updated on his injured knee by posting a series of graphic photos and videos of his progress on social media.

In case you missed out on the chaotic events leading up to UFC 223, Ferguson was forced to pull out of his highly anticipated lightweight championship bout with Khabib Nurmagomedov at the last minute after tripping on a wire in-studio.

Ferguson, who was fulfilling the last of his UFC 223 media obligations, tore the lateral collateral ligament in his knee and was forced to withdraw just one week out from the pay-per-view.

The former interim lightweight champion underwent surgery earlier this month and posted photos and videos of his post-op treatment.
