UFC President Dana White is speaking out after recently-released video showed him slapping his wife, Anne, while the two were on vacation in Cabo San Lucas this past weekend.
The MMA exec and his wife had been drinking together at a New Year’s Eve celebration at the nightclub El Squid Roe in the Mexican resort town on Saturday evening when the incident occurred. Late on Monday afternoon, TMZ published video of the incident, which quickly went viral across social media. And now, White is owning up to it.
