Cain Velasquez Pleads No Contest in Attempted Murder Case

The former UFC champion's plea deal drops premeditated murder charges, avoiding a mandatory life sentence.

Velasquez entered a no contest plea to felony assault and gun charges from a 2022 incident.
The charges stem from Velasquez shooting at a vehicle carrying a man accused of molesting his relative.
The plea agreement removes the possibility of a life sentence but still leaves Velasquez facing prison time.
The incident involved a high-speed chase and gunfire near a school, endangering bystanders.
Velasquez's sentencing is set for October, with the probation department preparing a recommendation report.
