Derrick Lewis, a UFC fighter, was arrested in Houston for reckless driving after allegedly driving 136 mph in a 50 mph zone in a red Lamborghini. The arrest occurred just days before his main event fight against Jailton Almeida at UFC Sao Paulo. Lewis, however, is already in Brazil and preparing for the fight as usual. The next court date for Lewis is scheduled for December 27, and if convicted, he could face up to 30 days in jail and a $200 fine.
