According to a report from Texas affiliate ABC 13, Lewis was caught driving 136 miles per hour in a 50 mph zone while behind the wheel of a red Lamborghini. He reportedly passed a law enforcement officer while “weaving in and out of traffic and making unsafe lane changes.”
Lewis was given a $100 personal recognizance bond and released from custody the same day as his arrest. His next court date is scheduled for Dec. 27.
“The Black Beast” is expected to face Jailton Almeida in the UFC Night Night 231 main event in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Saturday. Lewis was a short-notice replacement for the injured Curtis Blaydes. The Houston native last appeared at UFC 291, where he halted a three-fight skid with a 33-second stoppage of Marcos Rogerio de Lima on July 29.
