Former UFC champ stops hit-and-run suspect who crashed into neighbor's home: 'He wasn't that tough'

After hearing the crash, Cejudo saw the driver leave the car after a bit of a struggle and tried to get him to stop.

From there, it was easy for the former flyweight and bantamweight champion and his neighborhood wrecking crew.

"Pretty much all my neighbors came in to fight the situation. I ended up lifting him, dropping him, slapped him around a little bit and just pretty much controlled him," he said.

"He wasn't that tough."

Cejudo said the situation could have been much worse.

"If someone was standing in there, they would be dead. All these kids are lucky to be alive," Cejudo said.

Cejudo said a block party was held on the street earlier in the day.

"If it was a couple hours earlier, someone would be seriously injured," Cejudo said.
