Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, who was granted bail earlier this month after spending eight months in prison on multiple charges related to a February shooting, received another court ruling in his favor on Tuesday.
According to MMA Junkie's Nolan King, a Santa Clara County (California) judge ruled that Velasquez will be allowed to compete in an upcoming wrestling event for Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide in Tempe, Arizona on Dec. 3. He will have his home confinement restriction temporarily waived, allowing him to travel on Dec. 1 and return Dec. 4.
King noted that the judge's ruling allows Velasquez to have his GPS monitor removed for the event, despite objections from the district attorney's office during a hearing on Monday and Tuesday.
