Cain Velasquez denied bail: Judge disregards possible CTE, conditions proposed by defense

Cain Velasquez will remain behind bars.

At a hearing Monday, Velasquez, represented by defense attorney Mark Geragos, appeared inside a courtroom at the Santa Clara County Hall of Justice where a request for bail was denied by Judge Shelyna Brown in the attempted murder case against the former UFC heavyweight champion.

Both parties were granted time to make additional arguments, in addition to the statements in previously filed paperwork. The hearing lasted approximately 30 minutes and took place in front of a packed courtroom of Velasquez supporters that included former UFC heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier and American Kickboxing Academy head coach Javier Mendez.
