Cain Velasquez Granted New Bail Hearing After Arrest on Attempted Murder Charges

Former UFC star Cain Velasquez was granted a new bail hearing Friday, set for May 16 in Santa Clara County, California.

According to Damon Martin of MMAFighting.com, the new hearing was granted by Judge Jose Franco on the heels of Velasquez being denied bail on March 7.

Velasquez was arrested in February after allegedly engaging in a high-speed chase with Harry Goularte and firing multiple shots at Goularte with a handgun.

Velasquez said that Goularte molested one of his family members and cited it as the reasoning for his alleged actions.

Per Martin, Goularte's stepfather was hit with a stray bullet during the chase and was later treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
