UFC owner Dana White opened up about his assault on Anne White during their New Years together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
owner of UFC, Dana White staged a regrettable scene during the turn of the year. In a video released by “TMZ”, the boss of the Ultimate appears attacking his wife, anne white, after a lengthy discussion between the two parties. The moment when the two begin to fight and exchange slaps was spotted by the vehicle, which published the event on its social networks. After the controversy gained worldwide repercussions, the leader spoke out.
According to him, alcohol was one of the elements that led to the discussion between the couple. Even so, Dana White assured that this was not a reason for him to attack Anne White. The wife was the one who gave the first slap, but the UFC boss hit back with two more and the situation became even more tense. It is worth mentioning that the two have 30 years of relationship and both ensured that this had never happened.
“I’ve been saying for years that there’s never any justification for a man to hit a woman. This is one of those horrible situations, I’m embarrassed, but we’re also more worried about our kids right now. We have three kids and since the video came out we’ve shown it to them and we’re more focused on the family now. People will have opinions on this and most will be right, especially in my case. You don’t hit a woman, ever. My wife and I love each other very much and we’ve been together for a long time, we’ve known each other since we were little and it was one of those unfortunate situations“, he stated.
Dana White even completed her explanation about the aggression: “There was definitely a lot of alcohol involved, but that’s no excuse. I’m literally not going to make excuses for this. Never happened before, it was the first time. I don’t remember very well. It’s an awkward situation for both of us, but more importantly, we’re worried about our kids. Everyone asks me if I care about this or that. My answer is always the same: my legacy and all the work don’t matter to me at all. It’s all about the family, you know? It’s about your wife and your kids“.
In addition, Anne White also took a stand and reinforced her husband’s statement: “Dana and I have been married for over 30 years. To say this is out of character for him is an understatement – this has never happened before. Unfortunately we both had too much to drink on New Years and things got out of hand, on both sides. We talked about it as a family and apologized to each other. I just hope people respect our privacy, for the sake of our kids“.
