Cain Velasquez: I Feel 'Blessed' After Release from Jail In Attempted Murder Case
Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez spoke publicly for the first time since being released from jail on Tuesday.
Speaking to TMZ Sports after posting bail, Velasquez said he feels "blessed" to be able to "be with the loved ones—family, friends."
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office charged Velasquez with attempted premeditated murder and multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon related to a February shooting in San Jose, California.
ESPN's Marc Raimondi reported in March that Velasquez faces more than 20 years in jail if convicted on all 10 charges.
