UFC president Dana White was caught on camera in a physical altercation with his wife on New Year’s Eve, and has spoken out about the incident.
The incident took place at a nightclub in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In an interview, White said he takes responsibility for his part in the incident.
“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. “I’m one of the guys, you 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. My wife and I have been married for almost 30 years. We’ve known each other since we were almost 12 years old.
White said the clash with his wife was alcohol-fueled and claimed he doesn't"remember a lot” about the lead-up and fallout of the confrontation. White said he remains in Mexico with his family, and he’s discussed the fallout with Anna, as well as his three children. TMZ also received a statement from Anna, who shared her side of the incident and came to White’s defense in his stance that physical confrontations between them are not a common occurrence.
