Cain Velasquez has been sentenced to five years in prison.
On Monday, Velasquez returned to the Santa Clara County Superior Court where Judge Arthur Bocanegra handed down the sentence stemming from a shooting that resulted in the MMA star being charged with felony assault, gun charges, and the most serious, attempted murder. The prosecution was asking for 25 years to life.
Ian Cull of @NBCBayArea was the first to report the sentencing.
Upon his arrest shortly after the incident in February 2022, Velasquez spent eight months behind bars.
