UFC President Dana White has issued an apology following allegations that he slapped his wife Anne during a disagreement at a club in Mexico on New Year’s Eve.
White, whose estimated net worth is $500 million due to his transformation of the Ultimate Fighting Championship into a global money-making enterprise, has been married to his wife for 26 years and they have three children.
On New Year’s Eve, UFC President Dana White and his wife Anne were celebrating at El Squid Roe in Cabo San Lucas when a video surfaced showing White appearing to say something to Anne, which prompted her to slap him.
In response, he slapped her back before the couple were split up. White addressed the situation in a statement saying,
“My wife and I were out Saturday night on New Year’s Eve. Unfortunately that is what happened. I am one of the guys who says there is never, ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman and now here I am on TMZ talking about it. It is embarrassing.”
