Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was sentenced to five years in prison on Monday for a 2022 shooting spree targeting a man accused of molesting his young son.
According to prosecutors, the high-speed chase unfolded near a school, with bullets flying and endangering nearby children and parents. One man was struck in the arm but suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
In a fiery rant, comedian Sam Hyde slammed Velasquez, calling him an “idiot” for launching what he described as a “GTA-style rampage” with no forethought or planning.
“He didn’t even hit the guy he was supposed to hit,” Hyde said to co-host Nick Rochefort. “He’s such a pussy he couldn’t even kill anyone!”
Hyde argued that Velasquez should have taken time to carefully plan his revenge, rather than reacting emotionally.
“I would take six months. I’d plan it out... every step, every detail... and I wouldn’t get caught until I was 80 years old,” he said.
The comedian didn’t stop there—he also criticized Velasquez for what he framed as neglect toward his son.
“Oops, I put a four-year-old in daycare and they got molested a hundred times—I didn’t notice until time number one hundred,” Hyde said mockingly.
“How could you be so disconnected from someone you’re supposed to be close to and protecting at all times, that you didn’t notice until molestation event number 100 that something was up?”
