Cain Velasquez was arrested a few weeks ago after chasing down a man that was accused of sexually assaulting a ‘close family member' and shooting at them. The details are still murky and former Police officer turned UFC fighter, Chris Daukaus, was asked to give his take on the situation.
It was revealed later on that one man in the vehicle was shot by Cain Velasquez but it wasn't the right person. UFC heavyweight Chris Daukaus spoke about it in a recent interview with Sherdog.
“As a father and as a fighter, I’m OK with what he did. Yes, it sucks that he shot the wrong person. I understand where he’s coming from. I understand the emotions that he must’ve felt, and I couldn’t imagine what was going through his head, and I couldn’t imagine being in that situation.
“As a former law enforcement officer, as a former police officer, dealing with the circumstances of the case and the facts of the case, I knew he was gonna be locked up. He is going to be charged, it’s just whether or not what he gets charged with during the trial,” UFC heavyweight Daukaus explained.
“It’s a really bad situation, I think, but we’ll see how it plays out. As far as the timeline goes, if he knew about things if he didn’t know about things if it was a ‘crime of passion’ with his emotions and if he just reacted, that plays a factor. As opposed to him planning a revenge factor against this person, that also plays a factor.
“As a father, as a father of a young son, and soon-to-be daughter, I can respect what he did. I understand what he did,” the UFC fighter reiterated. “But as a former law enforcement officer, like I said, he broke the law. He needs to be locked up.”
