Related Topics: Cain Velasquez, UFC

After spending the last eight months in jail, Cain Velasquez left a holding facility in Santa Clara County, Calif., after he posted $1 million bail.

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Velasquez was arrested in late February after allegedly shooting at Harry Goularte, a man allegedly accused of sexually molesting Velasquez’s 4-year-old son, and his family. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, Velasquez was allowed to go home, but he is facing attempted murder and multiple other charges. Velasquez was previously denied bail on several occasions after it was determined too great a risk to release the former UFC heavyweight champion.
