Patrick Smith Arrested After High-speed Motorcycle Chase

Patrick Smith, who is scheduled to face Oleg Taktarov on April 11, was arrested and jailed Thursday night at the Bryan County Jail in Oklahoma.

Smith, who was riding a motorcycle upwards of 130 miles per hour, was chased for approximately seven minutes before he was apprehended by police.

Smith was charged with fleeing or attempting to elude police, possession of a prescription drug without a valid prescription, and reckless driving.

Smith was called as a replacement for Don Frye (shoulder injury) to take part in a "Masters Superfight" at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The bout is being promoted by former UFC owner Bob Meyrowitz's upstart promotion, YAMMA Pit Fighting. The organization has not commented on Smith's arrest.

Smith competed for the UFC from 1993-1995 at UFC 1, 2, and 6. He won three fights at UFC 2 before losing to Royce Gracie in the finals.
