The UFC president reacts to the incident
In a different interview with TMZ, Dana White spoke about his behavior. “Unfortunately, that’s what happened while my wife and I were out on New Year’s Eve on Saturday night,” White said. “I’m one of the people who’s been saying for years that there’s never, ever a good reason for a guy to touch a woman, and here I am on TMZ talking about it. We’ve known each other since we were 12, and my wife and I have been married for almost 30 years. We’ve gone through a lot of crap together; we have three kids, and this is one of those terrible circumstances where I’m humiliated, but it’s also one of those situations where we’re more worried about our kids right now.”
“We have three children, and we have shown the video to the children ever since it appeared. At the moment, our family is more important to us. People will have opinions about this, and most of them will be accurate, particularly in my case. Never put your hands on a woman. I’ve been married to my wife for a long time, and we adore one another. Since we were very young, we have known one another, and this is just one of those sad circumstances.”
