Javier Mendez has been by Cain Velasquez ’s side through pretty much every life scenario, and that was no different during the former UFC heavyweight champion’s recent legal battle with charges including attempted murder. Velasquez was sentenced March 24 to five years in prison minus time served after he shot at Harry Goularte, a man accused of molesting Velasquez’s son at a daycare . Velasquez struck the man’s stepfather resulting in injury. Mendez hoped Judge Arthur Bocanegra would simply hand Velasquez a time-served sentence, so he was disappointed with the verdict but ultimately praised the judge for his compassion
