The MMA world is glad to see Cain Velasquez finally out of jail.
On Tuesday, the former UFC Heavyweight Champion was granted bail at $1M in his attempted murder case by Santa Clara County judge Arthur Bocanegra. Before finally getting bail, Velasquez was behind bars for 8 months for allegedly trying to shoot Harry Goularte Jr. inside a car but he ended up firing shots at Goularte’s stepfather Paul Bender instead.
MMA Stars React
Since his Feb. 28 arrest, many MMA figures have been quick to defend the actions of Velasquez as he tried to vanquish Goularte, who allegedly molested his four year-old son. The #FreeCain movement trended for months and it has now become a reality. With Velasquez being granted bail, fighters would rejoice following the news.

“You don’t need to agree with me but this might be the best thing that’s happened in a while,” Damien Brown said. “Cain will likely serve time again but at least he can spend time with his family while he waits. If a pedo can walk free then so should Cain.
