Dana White sends money to fighter after cutting him from UFC
Dana White has built up a reputation for being hard on fighters that he doesn't like, but that may not be completely true. Over the years and throughout the evolution of the sport, the UFC CEO has visibly had his favorites and a select few that seem to irritate him. Those in his good books are often looked after, with 'Uncle Dana' taking care of them financially or otherwise should they find themselves in trouble. Advertisement Despite their differences, Dana White was quick to aid undefeated MMA prospect Muhammad Mokaev after the flyweight star was involved in a scary car crash. While he was thriving inside the octagon, Mokaev was cut from the UFC due to his behavior outside of the cage. 'The Punisher' revealed that, though he was removed from the UFC roster, White still offered him a helping hand during a difficult time. "When I had [a] car crash after being cut from UFC, I received some money from Dana too. [I'm] not sure what for, but it meant a lot to me." @mokaev_muhammad/Instagram Related: Muhammad Mokaev hospitalized by car crash Another man Dana White has helped out in recent times is former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. Following the Mexican's run-in with the law, new reports suggest that White covered Velasquez's bail with a $1 million payout. Advertisement "I don't know if he gave out a statement or something beforehand, when I was locked up," Velasquez said. "And also, he did pay my bail as well." "So, they're helping. They've helped." Cain Velasquez was sentenced for attempted murder against a man accused of molesting his son. The entire MMA community and beyond sided with Velasquez after news broke of his actions three years ago. Dana White played a huge role in the UFC Hall-of-Famer's release from jail without the public's knowledge, until now. Check out Cain Velasquez's comments on Dana White below.

Krysten Ritter to Return as Jessica Jones in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
After many rumours, it appears Krysten Ritter is set to reprise her role as the hard-hitting, cynical private investigator Jessica Jones. She will officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming second season of Daredevil: Born Again. The news comes via Variety and its reporting from Disney's upfront presentation to advertisers in New York on Tuesday, where Ritter appeared alongside Charlie Cox, the star of the highly anticipated series. While it was expected, the move helps bridge the Netflix Marvel series with the current Marvel Cinematic Universe, which until now has felt very disconnected. Krysten Ritter, who first embodied the super-powered detective in the acclaimed Netflix series Jessica Jones starting in 2015, expressed her enthusiasm for returning to the character. 'It's so great to be back, returning to Jessica after three seasons and The Defenders and now joining the MCU,' Ritter said during the presentation. 'I'm so excited to bring back this iconic character, and without giving too much away, there is much more in store for Jessica Jones. This is going to be an incredible season!' Ritter's portrayal of Jones was one of the most iconic performances among the Netflix Marvel series, perfectly capturing the essence of a former superhero turned private investigator after a traumatic past. Jessica Jones was a cornerstone of Marvel's original slate of interconnected Netflix series, which also included Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Punisher, culminating in the somewhat disappointing team-up miniseries The Defenders. These shows concluded their runs on Netflix by 2019, as Disney prepared to launch its own streaming service, Disney+, the new home for Marvel Cinematic Universe content. It's great to see these characters return—even slowly—as Disney gradually reintroduces the beloved figures, with Daredevil: Born Again spearheading this new chapter. The first season, starring Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, debuted to mixed reviews on Disney+, with fans excited by the return, even if the season felt more like a taste of what was to come. Jon Bernthal is also confirmed to return as Frank Castle/The Punisher in the series, and work on the second season, which will feature Ritter's Jessica Jones, is already underway.
