Junior Dos Santos has sent a heart-felt message to his former rival Cain Velasquez following his recent arrest
Former UFC heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos has come out in support of Cain Velasquez, with whom he has shared the octagon thrice.
Their trilogy is the gold standard in heavyweight rivalries, although Cain got the better of him 2-1. Ever since the latest developments emerged in the Cain Velasquez shooting case, indicating the targeted man was accused of molesting his relative, MMA community was eagerly waiting to hear the boss-man’s take on the issue.
Santos put out a series of earnest tweets saying,
“As combat opponents, we shared the dream of winning and becoming number one. Today, as parents of families, the victory we want to achieve is the well-being and safety of our families.
“There is still a lot to be revealed and investigated about this situation that Cain Velasquez is involved in. But until then, I believe any honest parent would do the same if they were in their shoes.
“May justice be done and Cain can be where he belongs, together with his family and as soon as possible #ForcaCain #FreeCain,” he finished.
UFC President Dana White reacts to Cain Velasquez’s attempted murder charge
The always opinionated Dana White is well known to let his voice be heard whenever it comes to speaking about his fighters, or their activities outside the cage. He is not the one to mince words when it comes to speaking his mind.
Ever since the latest developments emerged in the Cain Velasquez shooting case, indicating the targeted man was accused of molesting his relative, MMA community was eagerly waiting to hear the boss-man’s take on the issue.
In a recent interaction with Barstool Sports, White said, “I obviously feel sorry for him and his family. It’s a horrible thing. I don’t know enough details to speak on it, but from what I’ve heard – we all say we’d do it if it ever happened to us. Cain did it.”
It’s really encouraging to see White stand up for his fighter, even though nothing regarding the case has been confirmed yet.
