Early this month, former UFC champion Cain Velasquez was released from custody on a $1 million bond, much to the delight of many of his peers. Now, the 40-year-old already wants to get his life back on track.

As reported by MMA Fighting, Velasquez requested the court for an opportunity to participate in a pro-wrestling event under Lucha Libre AAA. The event is scheduled for December 3rd at the Mullett Arena in Tempe, Arizona. Velasquez represented Arizona State University as a two-time NCAA Division I wrestler.

Velasquez was recently released from custody after facing multiple charges including attempted murder for his involvement in an alleged car chase in March.
