Former UFC Champion Cain Velasquez Set Free On $1 Million Bail

Former UFC champion Cain Velasquez has been set free! ## As noted, Cain spent eight months in jail on attempted murder charges but he has now been released on $1 million bail on Tuesday. The decision was made after 13 hours of a pre-trial hearing that stretched over two days. ## On February 28, 2022, Velasquez allegedly shot at a man in Santa Clara County, California and hit an unintended victim. The man who Velasquez allegedly intended to shoot, Harry Goularte Jr., had been arrested prior to the shooting for allegedly committing child sexual abuse acts at a daycare attended by one of Velasquez's young relatives. ## The incident began with Goulart being accused of sexually assaulting a young relative of Velasquez. Velasquez later claimed in a civil lawsuit that his own four-year-old son had also been sexually assaulted. ## Mark Geragos after @cainmma was granted bail:“We’re gratified and he’ll be able to go home and start the healing process. It’s been a long slog and after 8 months he’s finally going home.”#ufc#mma pic.twitter.com/EzLlwJAQiM— Damian Trujillo (@newsdamian) November 8, 2022 ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
