UFC president Dana White reacts to Cain Velasquez’s attempted murder charge
UFC president Dana White has shared his first comments on the criminal case involving former two-time heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez.
Velasquez was arrested on Monday on a number of charges, including attempted murder. The former fighter and pro wrestler allegedly shot at a vehicle with multiple men, with one ending up in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Velasquez, 39, hasn’t competed in MMA since a 26-second knockout loss to current heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou in February 2019.
