Cain Velasquez Issues Statement After Attempted Murder Charge

Cain Velasquez has issued a statement after he was charged with 1st degree attempted murder in March.

Taking to social media, the former UFC star and occasional AAA and WWE wrestler posted the following:

“To everyone that has expressed your support, my family and I will never be able to thank you enough. From the bottom of our hearts and the depths of our souls, we are forever grateful for your love. Your selfless gestures and kind words have given me strength in my darkest times. This story is complex and slowly unraveling as we speak. To the true victims of this case, may God give you the strength to come forward. Though it is most difficult to relive the pain that has happened to you, in speaking the truth, justice will be served and your own true healing will start. I will never stop helping or loving my community and all of you. Thank you for giving me love.”
