Derrick Lewis is currently in Brazil ahead of this weekend’s UFC Fight Night Sao Paulo card, where he is headlining against Jailton Almeida.
However, less than a week ago, the fighter was arrested by the Harris County (Texas) police according to ABC 13 Houston for driving 86 MPH over the speed limit, which was 50 MPH. Lewis was charged with misdemeanor, was also accused of making unsafe lane changes while weaving in and out of traffic.
Lewis was released on $100 bond and will be due back in court on December 27, which is just two days after Christmas. There has been no comment at this time from Lewis, one of his representatives or the UFC at this time.
