Cain Velasquez, a former UFC heavyweight champion, was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after he allegedly shot a man in Northern California, according to police.
Velasquez, 39, was arrested Monday in San Jose and is being held without bond in the Santa Clara County Jail, according to authorities records. He is scheduled to appear Wednesday to be notified of charges.
It was not immediately known if he has an attorney who can speak on his behalf.
The San Jose Police Department said officers responded to a report of shots fired Monday and found a man with at least one gunshot wound. The subject was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, authorities reported on Twitter.
Velasquez was arrested as a suspect, but the causes of what happened are still under investigation, police say.
Velasquez transitioned into wrestling after retiring from mixed martial arts in 2019. He is a two-time UFC heavyweight champion, winning titles in 2010 and 2012.
