Former UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez has returned to American Kickboxing Academy in a coaching role following his incarceration.
Last February, Velasquez was arrested following and charged with attempted murder after shooting a man. The former heavyweight was targeting Aguirre ‘Harry’ Goularte, who is accused of abusing Velasquez’s four-year-old son, but hit the man’s stepfather, Paul Bender.
Goularte, who was working at the daycare which Velasquez’s son attended, was pursued by Velasquez by car for over ten miles. The 40-year-old rammed the victim’s car and also fired several shots using his handgun.
Velasquez was held in custody for 8 months before being released on $1 million bail last November and is awaiting his upcoming trial.
