Dana White is the main name of the UFC, but at the turn of the year he was the protagonist of an aggression against his wife; see details about the director’s decision
Dana White opened up about his future in UFC after having assaulted his wife, anne white, during a party in Mexico. The leader’s video circulated on social networks, after the “TMZ Sports” publicize him on all his platforms. 11 days after the controversy, he called a press conference and spoke for the second time about his aggression.
The UFC leader made it clear that he will not leave after what happened between him and Anne White. It is worth noting that the two spoke on the subject and made it clear that they regret the mistake. The two exchanged punches during the turn of the year party. Even with the regrettable attitude, Dana White assured that she will remain in charge of the Ultimate.
“What should happen? Tell me! I stay 30 days away? How does it hurt me? (…) When I leave, it hurts the company, it hurts the employees, the fighters. It doesn’t hurt me. I could have left in 2016. I don’t know. Do I need to reflect? No, I don’t need to reflect. The next morning when I woke up, you know what I mean? I was already against it. I recognize. I’m telling you I’m wrong“, he stated.
“We had a lot of internal discussions, nobody is happy. Nobody is happy about it. Me neither, but it happened and I have to deal with it. And what is my punishment? Here’s my punishment: I have to walk around for as long as I live and that’s how I’m labeled now. My other punishment is that, I’m sure a lot of people, whether it’s the media, fighters, friends, acquaintances, who had respect for me, may not have respect for me now.“, continued.
Dana White also responded to followers who defended him after the episode with Anne White. At the opportunity, the UFC leader assured that he should not receive this support and again said that he regretted what happened on the first night of the year 2023.
“It was obviously a horrible personal experience and there are no excuses for that. It is something I will have to deal with and live with for the rest of my life. And one thing I want to clarify that I didn’t say (in an interview) to TMZ, because I didn’t expect it, it was the people who are defending me. There is no such thing as an excuse. I’m sure you’ve been reading the same things I’ve seen. There’s no defense for that, and people shouldn’t defend me for it, no matter what. All the criticism I received this week is 100% justified and will happen in the future“, finished.
