Between the Links: Cain Velasquez sentenced, Jones vs. Aspinall update, UFC gambling suspensions
Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez found out his legal fate earlier this week as he was sentenced to five years — minus time served — after pleading no-contest stemming from his arrest in February 2022. Now that the sentenced has been handed out, was a it small win all things considered?
On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to Velasquez’s sentence, whether it was a win or loss, and if it does anything to his legacy overall. Additionally, they’ll discuss the latest updates on Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall — from both UFC CEO Dana White and Aspinall — Sean Brady delivering a lopsided performance against Leon Edwards at UFC London, where both fighters go, Jeff Molina and Darrick Minner getting multi-year suspensions for infractions stemming from the James Krause gambling scandal, Saturday’s UFC Mexico City card, and much more.
