Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has pleaded no contest to attempted murder.

Over two years ago, Cain Velasquez was arrested for allegedly pursuing and shooting at a man named Harry Goularte. This individual was accused of molesting Velasquez’s young son at a daycare, with the ex-UFC star chasing a car carrying Goularte before shooting a bullet that struck his intended victm’s stepfather.

His trial was initially set to begin next month, with attempted murder being one of the charges. However, according to East Bay Times, Cain decided to cut a deal on Friday that would see him plead no contest.
