‘Motherf*cker trying to steal my sh*t’: UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis ‘KNOCKS OUT’ would-be car thief (VIDEO)
It goes without saying that breaking into cars isn't a good move to make, but doubly so if that car belongs to the next man in line to challenge for the UFC heavyweight title, Derrick 'The Black Beast' Lewis.
Lewis, the second-ranked fighter in the UFC's heavyweight fold, is widely expected to fight Francis Ngannou later this year in what will be his second bid to claim a world title.
But according to footage posted to his Instagram account Tuesday, he came close to getting some early sparring in when he tackled a man who was allegedly attempting to break into his car.
The 36-year-old behemoth revealed online that Houston police had taken a man into custody - with the would-be thief appearing to have his head in a bandage. The Instagram post implies that Lewis confronted and tackled the intruder.
Derrick Lewis tells me he noticed a man trying to break into his SUV this morning. He knocked the man out. The police then apprehended him. I believe the correct thing to say here is, “he’s ok.”https://t.co/3IVUFKlQBL

"Motherf*cker tried to break into my sh*t," Lewis said in a video accompanying his post, while adding in the text caption: "Mofo pick right/wrong car to break into. HE’S OK."
Lewis also referenced the incident on his Instagram story, showing a close up what appears to be a bruise on his fist along with the text "satisfaction" and "he's OK".
ESPN reporter Ariel Helwani has since taken to social media to state that he has been speaking with Lewis who confirmed that he knocked the man out in the fracas.
The Houston Police Department has not yet commented on the arrest, per MMA Junkie.
Reminds me of a story I heard about a couple guys breaking into Lloyd Irvin's house while Brandon Vera and a couple other fighters were there. Talk about bad timing
