Former UFC Champion Cain Velasquez Released From Prison

One of the UFC's most notable champions has been released from prison after spending yearly one calendar year behind bars. 43-year-old Cain Velasquez, a two-time heavyweight champion in the promotion, was released on parole Sunday after an 11-month stint at Correctional Training Facility in Soledad, California.

Last February, Velasquez was sentenced to five years in prison after pleading no contest to several charges.

Velasquez was arrested after a 2022 high-speed chase with another driver in which he fired a gun into their car.
