Lewis Knocks Out Would-Be Car Thief

Ahead of his upcoming UFC title fight against Francis Ngannou, the not-fat Derrick Lewis got some sparring done on the streets on Houston.

Portly power puncher Derrick Lewis is apparently using the dynamite in his hands to detonate more than just heavyweight chins, as the Houston hurter recently foiled a would-be car thief hoping to scurry off in the “Beast”-mobile.

Can’t blame this one on nasal spray.

“Mr. Lewis says he went over to the suspect, struck him, placed him onto the ground until the police arrived,” Houston Police Department public information officer Jodi Silva told MMA Fighting. “That’s the nicest way to put it.”

ESPN claims Lewis “knocked the man out.”

“Motherfucker tried to break into my shit,” Lewis told his social media followers. “Mofo pick right/wrong car to break into. HE’S OK.”

Lewis holds a previous knockout victory over Hurricane Harvey.

The suspect was taken to the hospital for treatment and is expected to be charged with criminal mischief, since Lewis delivered the fists of justice before the car could be pried open. Damage to the vehicle — as well as the knuckles of Lewis — were both on display via Instagram.

I guess Lewis has a way of sniffing these things out.
