 Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight competitor, Hermes Franca, was arrested last night by the Jupiter Police Department in Jupiter, Fla for a DUI offense as confirmed to MMAWeekly by members of the police force on Thursday morning. Authorities could not release much more information than what was listed on their official police blotter confirming Franca’s arrest. According to the report, Franca was arrested at 2:38am by an officer who suspected the fighter was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It was also listed that this was Franca’s first offense. While officials of the Jupiter Police Department could confirm the arrest, they had no information about his detainment or release from being held from the arrest. |

In his defense, it IS hard to drive drunk while trying to shoot yourself in the ass with a needle.

what a f***ing idiot. The UFC brings him back and he even chances it by doing this? I don't even think a fighter of his ranking should be drinking even in your downtime..If you are an elite fighter like Chuck Liddell than sure...go get inebriated  but Hermes Franca should eat, sleep, and breathe MMA. |

That must've happened right after the WEC show because they did show him on camera. What an idiot though...If you are going to drink, for your safety and the others around you, don't drive. It's not worth it and Hermes had to learn the hard way by getting busted...
