    After his completion of high school, Derrick was accused of aggravated assault. At first, he was placed on probation for two years.

    Since Derrick violated his probation, he was sent to prison. According to Sportskeeda, he was sentenced to five years.

    Fortunately, he was released after three and a half years. As soon as he came out of prison, a friend introduced him to mixed martial arts.

    In the beginning, he worked as a tow-truck driver and also continued boxing. After competing for his first-ever professional match, he made a decision of his life – to become a martial artist.

    Recently, he fought for the title on his 13th release anniversary. Well, Derrick had confirmed that the date was significant to him.

    Reportedly, he was under pressure when he fought Ciryl Gane at UFC 265. Sadly, his title hopes ended in the third round after the opponent knocked him down.

    Ever since he came out of prison, his career has been going uphill. Well, he has already won 26 of his 35 fights.

    I love how humble @Thebeast_ufc is. He got violated on probation & served OVER THREE YEARS IN PRISON bc no one helped him pay his fines. Now he owns a Lamborghini, a Ferrari & a McLaren. Bought a car for EVERY family member. What a boss. WHAT A BOSS #ufc #UFCFightnight #ufc262

    Why Was UFC Star Derrick Lewis Arrested?

    Derrick Lewis, a UFC fighter, was arrested after being caught in a street brawl.

    He was reportedly imprisoned for violating his probation. He was a full-ride football scholarship student at Kilgore College at the time.

    According to Sports Manor, Lewis admits that he gives his best to kill his opponent when he is fighting them. Once the fight stops, he changes into a normal person once again.

    He was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. He was reportedly drunk at the time, and he happened to run into a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

    According to multiple sources, the man insulted him. Despite the fact that he had a shotgun, Derrick severely beaten him, and he was discovered bloodied.

    He is now regarded as one of the most influential fighters in the UFC. Everyone is proud of his accomplishments, and we wish him the best of luck in the future.

    In Derrick Lewis defense (not that he needs it) it went to jail for violating his probation. It’s not like he was beating his girlfriend.
