UFC Champ Cain Velasquez Denied Bail For Third Time In Attempted Murder Case
by 
Two-time UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was denied bail for the third time last week in an attempted murder trial.
Judge Shelyna Brown upheld her previous rulings in which she said Velasquez’s actions showed he had a “reckless disregard for human life.”
Velasquez allegedly attempted to murder Harry Goularte, who is currently facing charges of child molestation following accusations of molesting Velasquez’s four-year-old son. Velasquez chased down Goularte and shot at the car Goularte and his stepfather were in back in February. His stepfather was struck by a bullet.
Velasquez has been in prison ever since, though Goularte pleaded not guilty and was released on bail.
