Dana revealed to have bailed out Cain Velasquez for 1 million dollars

[AstralPanda]

It wasn’t until November 2022 that Velasquez was finally granted bail set at $1 million by Judge Arthur Bocanegra and White immediately stepped up to help the retired fighter.

“I don’t know if he gave out a statement or something beforehand when I was locked up and also he did pay my bail as well,” Velasquez revealed on a recent episode of the Basement Talk podcast prior to his sentencing. “So they’re helping.”

White never publicly addressed paying Velasquez’s bail, although he continuously showed support to the former heavyweight champion with public statements and even wrote a letter on his behalf that was presented to the court when Velasquez was trying to get released from jail.

“I’m happy for him and his family to be finally back together,” White told TMZ just after Velasquez was released. “Cain Velasquez is a good man, he’s a good person, and I’m hoping the judge that looked at this case said, ‘You know what? This family has suffered enough.’


“As if the kids haven’t suffered enough, they lost their father for almost a year. Hopefully the real justice gets served in this case, and Cain Velasquez—who is a good man, a good father, a good husband—gets to be home with his family.”

Velasquez remained out of custody until his court hearing in March when Bocanegra sentenced him to five years in prison. Prosecutors were seeking 30 years to life behind bars.

Due to the months Velasquez spent in jail and on house arrest, he accumulated enough time served to be eligible for parole as early as March 2026.

While Velasquez is currently serving time in prison, he still has additional hearings related to his crime with the next date set on June 3 for a restitution hearing, which determines how much money the former UFC heavyweight is due to pay the victims in the case


Dana makes some pretty cut throat moves at times, but he a real one sometimes

If it's true, I think it's good. For Cain's family, at least.
But since I'm generally suspicious of Dana, I don't think he's doing this without ulterior motives. Besides, he now has someone who owes him money.
I'm just surprised Dana hasn't made a big deal about it. But most people would have realized he's just trying to polish his image. He must have taken into account that it wouldn't stay a secret.

Fuck chomos, good for Dana if it’s true

Way too cynical imo. Even assholes can show humanity sometimes. Besides that, a million is chump change for a guy who imports snow to his Nevada driveway and he probably didn't even pay any cash. Probably just put a couple of his bugattis or ferraris up as collateral.

Don't think we really need qualifiers on this one

Dana did a good thing here, well dome

We can also slate him when he does bad things. This is good. Well done

Besides, he now has someone who owes him money.

Come on man.

Gimme a break.

 

[Tito Tapped]

Dana did a good thing here, well dome

His fighter started a high speed car pursuit while firing a gun out the window and permanently injuring an innocent man after shooting him.

Explain how paying a millionaires bail for him so he could run around and do podcasts and TV before getting sentenced was a good thing.

He gets the money back as long as Cain made all his court dates. Still a nice thing to do for him.

I mean I know why Dad did it it helps with his brand but he's scum for supporting someone who attempted murder

I've listened to everyone who attempted to portray Cain as a villain, you'll never change my mind, he did what any parent would do if they experienced that happening to their children. I'm glad he had support to get himself the least amount of time. Dana deserves points for this, but I bet someone says "so he has a million for Cain, but not _____ fighter?"

i agree he did what most any parent would do, but the way he did it was idiotic. that Luigi Magione kid straight Assassin's Creed'd a fuckin CEO. meanwhile Cain goes GTA V on the chomo and doesn't even get him once. wild.

I mean the car he shot at contained the guy who molested his kid and his parents who owned the daycare that his kid was molested at. Also the parents are driving their son around after he was charged with sexual abuse of a minor at their daycare.

I know plenty of parents that drop support for their kids for something like that, yet they chose to help him out. Not only that, but they raised their son who molested a kid. Sorry, but to me that is culpability, they are the ones who put their son around kids.

So I think it's different than a CEO being shot at where he doesn't do shit but keep shareholders happy or he gets replaced by someone who does.

Any parent would chase the alleged offender while shooting out the window? Doubt it.

Dana said it best; “Everyone says they’d do. Cain actually did it.”

Impulsive behavior is a hallmark of CTE. The anger is understandable, but normal, sane people would not do what Cain did.

I am not saying any parent will do exactly what Cain did in the same exact circumstance. But would any parent who owned a gun and had their kid molested, take whatever opportunity to shoot the guy? Especially not concerned about hitting his parents who owned and operated that daycare that his kid got molested at while they support their son who just molested his kid?

Cain took some damage in the UFC in his career, probably is more impulsive than most, especially after that Ngannou KO. But I don't see how it's not a human reaction to lose it once in your life like that. As far as I know Cain was a family man and never had violent outbursts in his personal life.

I thought Bender doesn't own it.

Also the parents are driving their son around after he was charged with sexual abuse of a minor at their daycare.

Reportedly to the courthouse so he could get his ankle monitor. Anything done while people are taking care of their judicial responsibilities are not considered to be risks by the typical assessments used by even the judiciary.

Do you think chomo's actually tell their parents they are a phile? Like "Hey mom, just so you know, I'm not gay, but I do love diddling them young 'uns."

Velasquez deserves prison time.

Not for his public reckless abandonment, but for the sheer stupidity of not planning that shit out and really having fun with it. You don't just rage out in public. It's not like that guy would have been hard to snatch.

A short boat ride, gives you time to find out all the dirty little secrets. A couple five gallon buckets with some quick-dry concrete, a little slit in the belly and the shit-eaters will have it gone in a couple weeks. Good luck stumbling across two black buckets at the bottom of the Atlantic.
