UFC light heavyweight and former middleweight champ Luke Rockhold is firmly on team Velasquez. With UFC heavyweight Cain Velasquez behind bars after he shot at a man accused of molesting his child, Rockhold told MMAFighting that he blames the system for allowing the accused to walk free while Velasquez was denied bail.
“To see his family not have him over a system that has failed us is not fair – it sucks. It’s just not fair. Cain did not play a smart role in doing what he did, but the system is completely disgusting where they can allow a man like that to go free [and] go back [home].
Rockhold Supports Cain Velasquez, Blames “Twisted” System
Knowingly letting the guy go free back to that situation once you’re molesting kids and releasing him back to the premises of a daycare where he lives, where he molested his children.
Like, what the f***? No bail? No bail and they’re allowing a person to go back to that standard. It’s so pathetic how twisted our world is and how pathetic things are. need to be punished. [Pedophiles] need to be elevated in that situation, it’s just stupid.”
Rockhold continued, singing Cain Velasquez’s praises. He went as far as to recommend Velasquez for UFC Hall of Fame induction this year.
“I think Cain should have been in the Hall of Fame a long time ago. One of the first ever. One of the nastiest, greatest champions of all time. I was trying to push for him to get his Hall of Fame bid this year to bring more attention to it, which I think we should all push for.
I think Cain should bring more attention to the situation. Cain for Hall of Fame 2022, let’s go. Bringing this to surface as much as we can and everyone can get behind him. Let’s show what Cain is.”
Cain Velasquez will face court once more this Friday, appearing before a judge to make his plea. If he is convicted of all charges, Velasquez will face up to twenty years behind bars.
Velasquez allegedly chased a car containing Harry Goularte, Jr, accused of molesting Velasquez’s child, and Goularte’s stepfather, firing potshot from his handgun at them all the while. Over the course of several miles, Velasquez pursued the other vehicle, eventually hitting Goularte’s stepfather with a stray bullet.
