A UFC fighter played completely in his Phoenix district late Friday night by arresting the driver of a vehicle crashing into a neighbor’s home.
Henry Cejudo said he saw a car “probably walking 80 to 100 miles an hour” and hearing a high boom. Then he saw that the car had crashed into the neighbor’s home.
After hearing the crash, the Cejudo driver saw the car leave the car after a bit of battle and tried to get him to stop.

From there it was easy for the former airweight and bantamweight master and his neighborhood.
“Almost all my neighbors came in to fight the situation. I ended up lifting him, dropping him, dropping him around a bit and just controlling him pretty much,” he said.
“He wasn’t that hard.”

The driver, a 22-year-old man, is now facing charges of driving under influence and assault, according to ABC15 in Arizona.
Cejudo said the situation could have been much worse.
“If anyone stood in there, they would be dead. All these kids are lucky to be alive,” Cejudo said.
