Here’s that gory, NSFW video of Tony Ferguson getting leg staples removed

This video, which offers no evidence of western medicine or technological advancements of any kind, reminds me of the 1991 classic “Body Parts,” when that nut job shows up to reclaim his amputated legs.

Speaking of nut jobs, Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson, was back on the table this week to have the staples removed from his leg following a previous surgery to repair “El Cucuy’s” ruined knee.

A surgery that was apparently sponsored by Ronco.

With Ferguson on the mend (we’ll have to take his word for it), the countdown to the next title fight has begun. Khabib Nurmagomedov is current owner of the 155-pound strap while Conor McGregor is off making reparations to the department of transportation.

Don’t expect any championship showdowns until later this fall, which means this emerging contender will have to find something else to do while he waits. Maybe he can take up leg surgery in his spare time.

I doubt he could do any worse than Dr. Scissorhands.
