Josh Neer, a veteran of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and International Fight League, was arrested early Thursday morning by Des Moines, Iowa, police. The records in Iowa show he was charged with a second-offense, operating while intoxicated charge and eluding while more than 25 MPH in excess of the speeding limit. Iowa Police stated that Neer was released on bond sometime around 9 or 10 a.m. Thursday morning and would face a future court date. Records indicate that his bond was set at $2,000 for the operating while intoxicated charge and $5,000 for the charge of eluding.

The event was that Neer apparently hit a car from behind at a red stoplight. That car then rear-ended a police car that was stopped for the light. Reportedly driving a black Audi Quattro, Neer then allegedly pulled out, crossing oncoming traffic and leading police on a chase. The report goes on to say that police attempted to stop the Audi by hitting the back quarter panel of the car with a squad car. The Audi spun around, but the driver regained control. The chase eventually wound up on Interstate 80, reportedly reaching speeds in excess of 100 mph in a 65 mph speed zone.

The chase finally ended at mile marker 137, where police arrested Neer.

Check out these five reasons UFC is better than boxing.

1. Violence Sells
Boxing is a violent sport but compared to mixed martial arts, it looks like walking in the park on a clear spring day. While in boxing the fighters wear plush gloves and are only allowed a certain number of moves, the UFC gives fighters virtually free reign to beat their opponent any way they see fit.

2. More Good Fights
In boxing, how many boxers are actually fun to watch? You can probably name fighters you would pay to see on one hand. During a UFC event, you get nearly a dozen fights – each with their own sub plot. If one or two fights disappoint, there are plenty others to make up for it.

3. No Attention Span Needed
We like things fast. Fast food. Fast cars. Fast girls. The UFC fights are very fast. Three rounds instead of the usual 12 rounds in boxing makes a big difference. You can watch a whole fight without having to get up to get a replacement beer.

4. Getting Better and Better
Boxing is an old sport. It’s been around forever. The same powerful people behind the scenes have controlled the sport for decades. The UFC, on the other hand, is new. Everyone likes to be a part of the up and coming. Being a UFC fan now is like getting in on the ground floor of a successful corporation.
