Why did Cardio Cain go to jail?

The former UFC champion was arrested back in February 2022, for allegedly pursuing a car carrying Harry Goularte, the man who reportedly molested Velasquez’s son. And then the fighter was accused of firing several rounds from his .40 caliber handgun that hit Goularte’s stepfather. Consequently, Velasquez faced imprisonment based on the charges of attempted murder and 10 other gun-related charges. 

However, the MMA world rose in support of the warrior for trying to bring justice as a father. Campaigns of ‘Free Cain’ were held to show their support.
