Between the Links: Cain Velasquez Sentenced, Jones vs. Aspinall Update, UFC Gambling Suspensions

Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez learned his sentence this week. He received a five-year prison term, reduced by time already served, after pleading no-contest related to his February 2022 arrest. Some are discussing whether this sentence is a small victory, given the circumstances.

A recent episode of “Between the Links” featured discussion about Velasquez`s sentence, considering if it was a win or loss and its effect on his legacy. They also covered: updates on the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall fight from Dana White and Aspinall, Sean Brady`s decisive victory over Leon Edwards at UFC London and future plans for both fighters, the suspensions of Jeff Molina and Darrick Minner related to the James Krause gambling scandal, the upcoming UFC Mexico City event, and more.

The show is hosted by Mike Heck and Jed Meshew.
