Cain Velasquez, former UFC heavyweight champion, made a statement after being released from prison.

"It's been a few weeks since my release, and it took me some time to get back to normal life, to get used to the usual things, to being home with my family, my kids. I would like to thank everyone for the love and support," Velasquez said in a social media video.

Recall that in February 2022, Velasquez was arrested for attempting an armed attack on a man accused of harassing his son, and he injured a person.
