UFC president Dana White was involved in a physical incident with his wife Anne at a nightclub on New Year’s Eve.
The couple was seen at El Squid Roe in Cabo San Lucas with a video of White saying something to Anne, who proceeded to slap White with White responding by slapping her before others intervened.
TMZ reported the story stating that eyewitnesses stated that both seemed to be “heavily intoxicated”.
White was interviewed by the outlet and addressed the situation, confirming both had been drinking heavily but added “that’s no excuse”.
The two have apologized to each other and his concern is with their three children. White said this has never happened before.
Anne White issued the following comment to TMZ:
Dana and I have been married for almost 30 years. To say this is out of character for him is an understatement — nothing like this has ever happened before. Unfortunately, we were both drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and things got out of control, on both sides. We’ve talked this through as a family and apologized to each other. I just hope people will respect our privacy for the sake of our kids.
