Former UFC Champion Cain Velasquez Denied Bail for 2nd Time In Attempted Murder Case

Former UFC fighter Cain Velasquez, who was arrested Feb. 28 and is being charged with attempted murder and 10 additional gun-related charges, was denied bail during a hearing in Santa Clara County (California) court on Monday.

Marc Raimondi of ESPN reported it was the second time Velasquez was denied bail after he was initially denied on March 7.

Judge Shelyna Brown pointed to Velasquez's "reckless disregard for human life" in the decision to deny him bail Monday. She said his "extreme recklessness" is why she denied his bail the first time.
