The news of Cain Velasquez's recent arrest has shocked the MMA world and many fighters are showing their support for the former UFC heavyweight champion. One of his former teammates, Josh Thomson, recently spoke out on the news.

So far, Cain Velasquez has received the support of many former teammates including former UFC champions Luke Rockhold and Daniel Cormier. Bellator MMA veteran Josh Thomson recently gave his support to Velasquez as well.

“It breaks my heart to see him have to go through this. I think that the justice system failed his son in this situation. They failed him as a law-abiding citizen and then he went out and took it into his own hands. It’s really sad, but hopefully, something happens that we can start remedying this situation nationwide, not just locally,” the former MMA fighter told MMAJunkie.

Josh Thomson continued, “We can’t be letting pedophiles out, sex offenders out with no bail, especially back to a daycare-type setting where this guy lives. And so it’s sad. It really is, but all you can do is support him and be there for him and his wife and his kids and his family and wish them all the best and just be there if they call. That’s all we can do.”

There are many MMA fighters that share the same view as Josh Thomson and many have started wearing ‘Free Cain' shirts. It will have to be seen what happens with Cain Velasquez's case, the only update so far is that he has been denied bail.
