Although he was rushed to hospital and a CT scan showed no worrying damage, Ferguson was quite shaken after the kick.

Ferguson even received a 60-day medical suspension from the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission, meaning he won't be able to fight or participate in any contact training unless he gets permission from a doctor.

"I thank God every day that I take a trip back to reality. Outside of a joke, I don't want to scare all of you, I should have done different things, like keeping my hands up and down. I have a lot to do, not just fight. One fight at a time," Ferguson wrote.

"I'm not perfect in any way, but I will continue to strive for perfection in and out of the training room. My movement is fine, my bones are intact and except for a bit of a headache in the morning, I'm happy to be back and doing what I want." I like. I want to be better than yesterday, not for others but for me," added the fighter.
