Former UFC Heavyweight Champion Junior Dos Santos expressed his words of support to his former rival Cain Velasquez.

Velazquez, 39, is charged with attempted murder. According to the American media, Kane opened fire on a car in which there was a suspect in molesting his close relative. At the same time, the fighter missed and hit the alleged pedophile's stepfather.

“As rivals, we shared the dream of winning and the desire to be number one. Now, as parents, the victory we want to achieve is the well-being and safety of our families.

There is still much to be revealed and investigated in the situation in which Cain Velasquez is involved. But until then, I believe that any honest parent would do the same if they were in his place. May justice be served and Kane can be where he belongs with his family ASAP,” Velasquez wrote on Instagram.

Recall that in 2011-2013, Velasquez and dos Santos rolled one of the brightest trilogies in the history of MMA. The first fight went to the Brazilian, and then the American won two victories.
