Cain Velasquez will have a job waiting for him once he gets out of prison.
On Monday, March 24, the former UFC heavyweight champion was sentenced to five years behind bars for a slew of charges, including attempted murder, after engaging in a high speed chase and firing multiple shots at a vehicle carrying Harry Goularte, the man accused of molesting Velasquez’s son at a daycare center owned by his mother, Patricia.
MMA stars from around the world offered their support to Velasquez on social media, many of them calling for the former fighter’s release and sharing the hashtag #FreeCain, which started circulating three years ago when he was first taken into custody.
