Josh Neer apologizes on TV for latest arrest

UFC lightweight Josh Neer apologized for his latest arrest in an interview with the WHO-TV Channel 13 News in Des Moines, Iowa. 

Neer was arrested and put in jail in the early hours of the New Year for a drunk driving and eluding the police incident.

"I just want to apologize to my friends, my family, and fans. I made some bad choices and I basically want to move on and put this behind me," Neer said in the interviewed that aired Saturday.

Neer (24-7-1) is coming off his first UFC main event last September at UFC Fight Night 15 and is scheduled to fight in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 17 against Mac Danzig on Feb. 7 in Tampa, Florida.

When asked if he has any fear that this latest arrest will end his days in the UFC, Neer was uncertain.

"I don't know yet," Neer said. "It's all up to the UFC at this point. There's nothing I can really do so I just got to sit back and hopefully they'll let me fight and I'm gonna move on from this and no more troubles."

According to Elias Johnson of the Channel 13 News, Neer will find out early this week if he will fight Danzig.
