This is a big step for the Velasquez family to get back together. Their lives will likely never be the same after this. However, it’s nice to know they’re reuniting once again. UFC fans show their support for Cain Velasquez, however, their minds are blown by the massive $1 million bail.
he shoulda been let out months ago. $1m is ridiculous

Eight months was a long time, but at least Cain Velasquez will no longer be in jail.
About 8 months late but it’s about time

Hopefully, Cain Velasquez can spend some peace and quiet with his family from here on out. Maybe one day the GPS tracker can be removed as well.
