UFC president Dana White has issued a public apology following the physical altercation that took place between him and his wife on New Year’s Eve. White spoke with TMZ on Monday about the fight, which was captured on video and saw White repeatedly slapping his wife during a verbal argument inside a night club. It’s worth noting that White’s wife engaged first, slapping Dana across the face before he retaliated.
“I’m in Cabo, Mexico for the holidays with my family, and my wife and I were out with family on New Year’s Eve, and unfortunately that’s what happened,” White told TMZ, as seen in the video below. “I’m one of the guys, you’ve heard me say for years. There’s never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman. And now here I am on TMZ talking about it.”
