Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading no contest to charges stemming from a 2022 incident where he shot at a man accused of molesting his son. The sentencing followed several delays while Velasquez's team negotiated to avert a life sentence. During an interview, he expressed remorse for his actions, recognizing the danger posed to innocent people and accepting responsibility for his reaction. Velasquez retired with a notable MMA record of 14-3, having defeated several legendary fighters during his career.
I know what I did, and I know what I did was very dangerous to other people. Not just people involved, but to innocent people. I understand what I did and I'm willing to do everything I have to pay that back.
Whatever the court feels correct for what I have to do, I'm going to do it with my head up and still be me and not play the blame game. It was me that did that and reacted in that way.
