An appeal filed by the legal team of incarcerated former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has been denied. The Sixth Appellate Court of California denied a petition for writ of habeas corpus in an order issued Wednesday, according to a court record obtained by MMA Junkie. The 246-page request , which challenged past rulings of Santa Clara County Judge Shelyna Brown denying Velasquez bail , was denied summarily, meaning without explanation. Velasquez’s lead attorney Mark Geragos did not immediately respond to MMA Junkie’s request for comment. Facing a handful of charges, including attempted murder, Velasquez is set for a pre-trial hearing Nov. 7 in San Jose, Calif.
