This week, former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez learned his sentence. After pleading no contest related to his February 2022 arrest, he received a five-year sentence, reduced by the time he has already served. People are now debating whether this sentence is a favorable outcome for him.

In a recent episode of `Between the Links`, panelists discussed Velasquez`s sentence, considering if it was a win or a loss and its effect on his overall legacy. They also covered recent news about the Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall matchup, hearing updates from both UFC CEO Dana White and Aspinall. Other topics included Sean Brady`s dominant victory over Leon Edwards at UFC London, the future for both fighters, multi-year suspensions for Jeff Molina and Darrick Minner due to the James Krause gambling controversy, and a preview of the UFC Mexico City event, among other things.
