UFC President Dana White grilled about slapping wife in 2022

Ultimate Fighting Championship head Dana White had few answers for his actions a couple years ago. At a New Year’s Eve celebration in Mexico at the end of 2022, White was filmed slapping his wife in the midst of a physical altercation. As seen in the video, he appeared to grab wife, Anne, by the wrist, and she struck him in the face.

He responded by slapping her back, before others intervened. White received no public punishment from his organization, and no charges were filed. White and his wife both explained later that alcohol played a factor into tensions escalating between them, resulting in them slapping one another.

After regularly declaring that “there is never an excuse for a man to put his hands on a woman,” he did so and did not receive any notable consequences. White suggested that the stigma of him doing so was his punishment, that he would always been known as a man who struck his wife. Rules for thee, not for me Appearing on a recent episode of “The Breakfast Club” hosted by Charlamagne tha God, Jess Hilarious, DJ Envy and Loren LoRosa, White was asked numerous challenging questions ranging from the operation of the UFC to his incident with his wife.

Putting White on the spot, Charlamagne asked the UFC president what would happen if a fighter was filmed striking their partner in a public setting. “It’s happened, don’t you [know],” White retorted. “You know what’s funny is that…it’s not funny but, I used to say that you don’t recover from those [offenses].
