Daniel Cormier, more fighters celebrate Cain Velasquez freed on bail eight months after arrest

Cain Velasquez Daniel Cormier UFC Belal Muhammad Derek Brunson Deron Winn Jeff Molina

There was good news for Cain Velasquez on Tuesday as the former UFC heavyweight champion was granted bail by a Santa Clara County (Calif.) judge after a pre-trial hearing that extended over two days.

Terms of Velasquez’s release include $1 million bail, monitoring and compliance to an extended set of terms.

The news comes after Velasquez was jailed for more than eight months while he faces a handful of charges, including attempted murder, for allegedly shooting at a car carrying Harry Goularte, a man accused of molesting Velasquez’s 4-year-old son, and his parents.

Although there are still several legal hurdles ahead for the 40-year-old Velasquez, many fighters online celebrated Velasquez’s victory in court.
