Cain Velasquez Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison for 2022 Shooting Incident

Former UFC fighter Cain Velasquez has been sentenced to five years in prison for a shooting incident that occurred over two years ago. Velasquez was convicted for shooting at a vehicle in 2022, which contained a man suspected of molesting his young son.

The Santa Clara County court handed down the sentence, though Velasquez’s attorney indicated that he may serve only one year due to time already served in jail and the home confinement he has been under with an ankle monitor. The case has garnered significant attention due to the nature of the crime and Velasquez’s high-profile status in the sports world.
