Cain Velasquez ’s legal team feels a mix of emotions coming out of their client’s sentencing. Over three years after his arrest on attempted murder and other charges, Velasquez received a five-year prison sentence in Santa Clara County court Monday in San Jose, Calif.. The sentence will be reduced by time served. Lead Velasquez defense attorney Renee Hessling asked Judge Arthur Bocanegra during Monday’s hearing for no prison time, while the district attorney’s office requested 25 years to life. Hessling told MMA Junkie shortly after the verdict that she was disappointed Velasquez will have to serve time, but was optimistic about his future.
