A Santa Clara County, California judge approved former UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez, to participate in a professional wrestling match in Tempe, Arizona, on December 3.
Earlier this month, Velasquez was released on $1 million bail after spending eight months in jail on charges of attempted murder, assault and weapons possession. According to MMA Fighting, Judge Arthur Bocanegra approved Velasquez’s travel request.
Velasquez will have his GPS monitoring device, which was part of his bail agreement, temporarily removed while he travels to Arizona. As part of the agreement to allow the former UFC fighter to participate in the Lucha Libre AAA wrestling event, Velasquez is responsible for paying an Arizona police officer to travel with him as supervision for the entire trip.
