Former UFC champ Cain Velasquez allegedly engaged in a high-speed chase with a man he accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old boy.
Cain Velasquez entered a plea in his 2022 attempted murder case. According to Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen, the UFC champion pleaded no contest to felony assault and gun charges as part of a negotiated agreement with the prosecutor’s office. The charges stem from an incident when Velasquez allegedly shot at another vehicle during a high-speed chase. A man accused of molesting a 4-year-old relative of Velasquez was inside the other vehicle at the time.
Velasquez, who stepped away from competitive mixed martial arts in 2019, was scheduled to go on trial in September. He still faces prison time, Rosen’s office said. But the no contest plea means premeditated murder charges against Velasquez will be dropped. Velasquez will no longer face a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole.
Velasquez and his attorney, Renee Hessling, declined comment after a Friday court hearing, the Bay Area News Group reported. Velasquez earned his first UFC heavyweight championship in 2012 by defeating Junior dos Santos. Velasquez successfully defended his title twice. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
