Cain Velasquez is set to be sentenced by a judge in California after pleading no-contest to a variety of charges including attempted murder. The ex-UFC heavyweight champion is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 18 for his sentencing after his trial was originally set to begin on Monday. The 42-year-old avoided the trial now faces anything from probation to a life sentence as punishment, although the latter is highly unlikely given Velasquez’s plea deal with prosecutors.
