Former UFC Champ Cain Velasquez Denied Bail After Arrest on Attempted Murder Charge

Former UFC fighter Cain Velasquez was denied bail by Judge Shelyna Brown on Monday as he awaits trial for attempted, premeditated murder, according to Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com.

"It is clear to this court that there is clear and convincing evidence that there is a substantial likelihood that release would result in great bodily injury, not just to the named complaining witnesses in this case but to Santa Clara residents at large," Judge Brown said. "This case involves allegations of extreme recklessness to human life."
