Cain Velasquez entered a plea of no contest to felony attempted murder, assault and multiple weapons charges in a California court on Friday in exchange for a lighter sentence.
The former UFC heavyweight champion was facing an attempted murder trial for a Feb. 2022 incident where he repeatedly shot at a man accused of molesting his son - but ended up wounding the man's stepfather instead.
As a result of the plea, the premeditated murder charges against him will be dropped, which means he will no longer face a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
