Joe Rogan is advocating for Cain Velasquez following his arrest last week.
The UFC icon was taken into custody after shooting at Harry Goularte, the man who allegedly molested Velasquez’s four-year-old daughter, per TMZ.
“You could only imagine the rage—the fucking rage that must have been going through that man’s mind. I get it,” Rogan said during a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
“He’s got a little daughter, man. She’s four. She’s a tiny little, cute little adorable girl and what does that do to her head? To have that happen 100 times. You can’t erase those memories. It’s so sick,”Rogan continued. “My only wish is that [Velasquez] did it with his hands. My only wish is that he just ran that car off the road, pulled that guy out of the fucking car, and beat him to death.”
Rogan’s guest Michael Bisping agreed with the host. “And even that would have been too good for him,” he said.
Rogan said that the child was molested “100 times,” though the number of times and whether it was Velasquez’s daughter hasn’t yet been confirmed.
Velasquez is now facing 10 charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and first-degree attempted murder. On Monday, he allegedly drove his truck into a vehicle that had Goularte in it, as well as his mother and stepfather. After a vehicle pursuit, Velasquez fired at the vehicle, injuring the stepfather, and then fled the scene.
Goularte was recently charged with a felony count of a lewd and lascivious act with a child under the age of 14. He had appeared before a judge the week before and was eventually released. According to TMZ, Velasquez’s family member was molested at a daycare.
