UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis stops car thief, shows bruised knuckle
UFC heavyweight mixed martial arts fighter Derrick Lewis had to use his combat training to thwart a car thief from stealing his truck.
On Instagram, the one-time UFC heavyweight world title challenger shared a video of what seemed to be the suspect getting arrested by the police.
"Mofo pick right/wrong car to break into. He's OK," Lewis wrote.
According to a report by MMA Fighting, the incident took place around 9:30 a.m. in Houston, Texas.
The police report said Lewis was coming from a workout when he saw the suspect trying to get inside his car with a screwdriver.
"Mr. Lewis says he went over to the suspect, struck him, placed him onto the ground until the police arrived," said Houston Police public information officer Jodi Silva.
"That's the nicest way to put it."
Lewis also shared a photo of his bruised knuckle on his Instagram Stories.
"Satisfaction," he said.
