Muhammad Mokaev, a former UFC flyweight fighter, revealed that UFC CEO Dana White provided financial assistance to him after he was cut from the organization. Mokaev lost his UFC contract following a decision win and a series of behavioral issues reported by matchmakers. After a car accident in Dagestan a month later, he expressed gratitude for White's support, stating that it meant a lot to him. Mokaev has since competed successfully in other promotions and is set for a return to the ring.
When I had car crash after being cut from UFC I received some money from Dana too, not sure what for but it meant a lot to me.
Dana White doesn't forget fighters even if they are no longer with the promotion.
Mokaev's UFC contract was not renewed after a unanimous decision win over Manel Kape in July 2024.
Mokaev subsequently earned a stoppage win under the Brave Combat Federation banner, followed by another at Karate Combat.
