However, Velasquez is certainly not in this situation alone. Many people from the MMA world, including UFC President Dana White have stepped up and voiced support for the actions he allegedly took.
According to MMAFighting.com, White told Barstool Sports, “I obviously feel sorry for him and his family. It’s a horrible thing. I don’t know enough details to speak on it, but from what I’ve heard, you know, we all say we’d do it if it ever happened to us. Cain did it.”
Dana White gave his reaction to the situation unfolding with Cain Velasquez.

Dana White was also not the only person to get very vocal with their thoughts that Velasquez didn’t really do anything wrong.
Ronda Rousey, Ben Askren, Justin Gaethje and others voiced support for him after he allegedly attempted to take out the unnamed child molester.

I don’t want to live in a country where you can’t shoot someone who sexually abused your child. #FreeCain

I would have done the same thing if not worse #freeCainVelasquez

This is obviously an incredibly serious and difficult situation. As always, Velasquez has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and the same goes for the accused child molester, who is facing a charge of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14.

I’ll let you all decide for yourself what should happen if the alleged target is actually guilty of being a child molester, but as Dana White pointed out, Velasquez allegedly did what many people say they would do.
If you allegedly mess with a man’s family, things can go south very quickly for you.
