Former UFC star Cain Velasquez pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and other charges in a San Jose, California, courtroom on Friday.

According to Nolan King of MMA Junkie, Velasquez also faces charges of shooting at a motor vehicle or aircraft, assault with a firearm, assault with a deadly weapon, willfully discharging a firearm from a vehicle and carrying a loaded firearm with intent to commit a felony, stemming from a February shooting in which he allegedly fired multiple gunshots into a car containing three people.

Velasquez says Harry Goularte molested his four-year-old son, and while Velasquez allegedly attempted to shoot Goularte, he missed and hit Goularte's stepfather, Paul Bender, in the shoulder.
