Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was sentenced to five years in prison for attempted murder following a shooting incident related to his son’s alleged molestation. After pleading no contest, Velasquez was defended by fellow MMA fighters advocating for his release, stating that he acted out of parental instinct. The case drew significant media attention, with fighters like Jorge Masvidal and Luke Rockhold pushing back against the legal decision. However, the alleged abuse by the accused man has not been legally substantiated, raising complex discussions around justice and personal retribution among supporters and the accused’s family.
"My reaction to hearing that news today is that California is full of B.S. brother," professional fighter Jorge Masvidal said.
"Any father or family member in the right place would do something," professional fighter Luke Rockhold said.
"He's not a criminal," Elliott said. "He took the law into his own hands and that's what he's being punished for at the end of the day."
"The sentence is extremely disappointing," Bender said. "It's based on an alleged allegation that has no basis. It is unfounded. We are looking forward to Harry's case to prove that."
