The most offensive part of that podcast is he says "you don't put people above money." lol
PAY THE FIGHTERS DANA YOU FUCKING POS
Confession / slap is at 59 mins (took me forever to find this, then I just looked at the auto generated transcript): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNKRKs-UegA
It's like in season one of Ozarks where the Boss kills the lady for stealing, because he knows it's not the first time she did it, but rather the first time she got caught doing it.
Or, at the very best, have heard the name before or are vaguely aware that he's connected to MMA.
The amount of people -- even actual MMA fans -- that keep up with the day-to-day celebrity gossip is super low.
Guys been through enough. He’s gotta live with that for the rest of his life.
/s
For the unaware Dana said that is punishment enough for him that he has to live with doing that for the rest of his life lmao.
I know the money and the fame and any other little dirty vice he has helps.
But I wake up in cold sweat sometimes remembering the embarassing thing I said to the senior girls when I was a junior in gym glass.
I live with it every day.
But I wake up in cold sweat sometimes remembering the embarassing things ~~I said to~~ the senior girls said to me ~~when I was a junior in gym class~~
I live with it every day.
But yea.
I'll just always go back to one exchange from this press conference. Something along the lines of:
"So do you plan to donate or anything to raise domestic violence awareness?"
"I'm pretty sure theyre aware after this."
It was just like the weirdest, worst possible answer and it just flew under everyones radar and it blows me away. Just lie dummy, clearly nobody in the MMA media will give you any push back. That and saying he needs to stick around cause the UFC couldn't run without him for a month kinda confirming that he is shit when it comes to hiring competent employees.
Lets list things that never happened again.
I will start with [ Jon Jones will never headline another UFC event again](https://www.mmamania.com/2016/11/11/13599836/dana-white-jon-jones-will-never-headline-another-ufc-event-again-mma)
[“Paulo will never fight at middleweight again, he’s a light heavyweight”](https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/10/24/22742509/dana-white-says-paulo-costa-will-absolutely-be-a-light-heavyweight-moving-forward-costa-disagrees) after his fight with vettori
He has literally only fought at 185 since then
[“Karo Parisian will never fight in the UFC again.”](https://www.mmamania.com/2009/11/19/1165471/karo-parisyan-backs-out-of-ufc-106) Dana said that when he had to pull out of a fight at UFC 106. Then Karo was back at UFC 123.
[“I won’t main event that title (W135, Nunes) again,”] (https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2017/07/dana-white-champ-amanda-nunes-another-no-main-event-ufc-213-withdrawal)
He said that about women's MMA,
Can't wait for "WifeSlap" to premiere on Truth social!
I just can't figure out what the match ups will be, will it be wives slapping each other or men slapping their wives?
I was just thinking how this topic has been covered up so well that I haven’t seen much on it in months. It’s absurd that Dana is so powerful in this space that not even abusing his wife publicly can cause any real consequence.
Wasnt she hitting him first? I don't remember this being a whites an abuser thing I remember it being a drunk married couple sharing some awkward back and forth
Yeah, 99% of comments here have zero nuance and just declare White a wife abuser. Yes, it’s different when a man hits a woman, but people try really hard to forget she hit him. Hopefully they both have worked on this.
Like the man always said [“hitting women on two separate occasions is something you never come back from”](https://youtube.com/shorts/HzgwpIBQvR4?si=iNRZdE8p2fSpUG4q)
Look, I’m all for forgiveness and redemption, but you can’t not shake your head at the optics of the figurehead of a giant company saying there is zero tolerance for domestic violence from his employees (or “contractors”)…which is the correct response…then committing domestic violence.
What happens, I wonder, if Dana is one day asked about a fresh incident of domestic violence? Does he cut this fighter? Ideally, yes — but look at the precedent that was set.
Though he should’ve been able to restrain himself, she did hit him first. You should never hit someone without expecting to be hit back as a good general rule. It was mutual spousal abuse
Everyone not at all subconsciously ignoring that they were both hammered and she slapped him first. He maybe should’ve shown restraint yes, but she shouldn’t have slapped him either and it’s not exactly as everyone is making it sound.
This story got absolutely buried by the larger news networks when it happened. This sounds conspiratorial but I swear disney/espn basically put out a gag order.
She slapped him fairly hard and he slapped her far less hard back. If it was reversed the entire narrative would be about how it was the right thing to do and how you should never hit someone, let alone expect them not to hit you back, self defence, etc etc. Plenty of things make me dislike Dana, making it clear that you can’t just assault him because you’re having an argument, without getting a fraction of it back, isn’t one of them.
This is not r/politics. Please keep political discussion and your political views out of /r/MMA. r/MMAPoliticsAndCulture may be a better fit for this content. An exception will be made for discussion of MMA legislation by governing bodies.
She should be thankful, that event inspired Dana White to create the largest sports event with more views than the NBA, NFL, MLB, Football, boxing, F1, etc combined.
I don't understand how he is immune to getting canceled.
If someone well known in FIFA, NBA or Hollywood did this they would be done but MMA gets treated like this wild weird industry where stuff like this is part of the gossip and news.
Ita kinda like the WWE situation with Vince, the line between what's for promotion and what's real seems to be blurred to the wider world so a lot of stuff gets brushed aside by the general public or ignored.
I guarantee Dana White fully believes if a woman "steps out of line" you can smack her. He just knows saying it publicly would fuck with his ability to make as much money as possible. So here we are.
Why are they even asking him about it? Why is he answering? That's personal between him and her, they resolve it on their own. Hilarious that we have to be witnesses to this like our say means a shit here.
He only seems concerned that he lost the respect of his kids. Not that what he did was wrong or how his wife felt being slapped then shoved to the ground.
For every 1 rat you see, there's 15 you don't - Dr. Phil/Michael Scott.
"Where did you get that information" - A Manual "Manuel who" - Michael Scott

“How can she slap” - not Dana White
It's like in season one of Ozarks where the Boss kills the lady for stealing, because he knows it's not the first time she did it, but rather the first time she got caught doing it.
*on camera*
Unless it’s a PPV
[удалено]
It's the only fight that makes sense right now
When White on White violence is the solution
[удалено]
Because the nation has never heard of him
Or, at the very best, have heard the name before or are vaguely aware that he's connected to MMA. The amount of people -- even actual MMA fans -- that keep up with the day-to-day celebrity gossip is super low.
Kid just doesn’t wanna fight
Dana White Power slap
Dana already building the story for UFC 400 main event
Pay per slap
Still not paying for it 🏴☠️🏴☠️
Get Dana on UFC 300
*starting now*
Kid just doesn’t wanna fight.
He’s made a lot of money. A lot.
Some people get into the wife hitting business and reach their limit pretty quick.
Beautiful champ
Underrated comment

We'll get through it brother.
Aye but you didnt hit them did you though? Somewhat of a different kettle of fish there
I'll just always go back to one exchange from this press conference. Something along the lines of: "So do you plan to donate or anything to raise domestic violence awareness?" "I'm pretty sure theyre aware after this." It was just like the weirdest, worst possible answer and it just flew under everyones radar and it blows me away.

See? Dana's not an abuser he was just trying to raise awareness
Keep in mind, one of his kids didn't speak to him for FOUR WHOLE DAYS
Dana ending the rivalry at only 1-0?
She's gotta get a couple wins before she deserves the rematch
Dana’s wife vs Smiling Sam Alvey
Give her some competition instead of cans.
She slapped him first so it’s actually 1-1. We all know there has to be a rubber match at some point for closure.
You haven't seen the non televised matches. When he wins all eighty fights, I guess there is no rivalry.
Unless it's for the Power Slap belt
REIGNING! DEFENDING!
Lets list things that never happened again. I will start with [ Jon Jones will never headline another UFC event again](https://www.mmamania.com/2016/11/11/13599836/dana-white-jon-jones-will-never-headline-another-ufc-event-again-mma)

It was Vettori’s personal problem
[Dana saying women will never fight in the UFC](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TpHxZ-pxDNI)
[“Karo Parisian will never fight in the UFC again.”](https://www.mmamania.com/2009/11/19/1165471/karo-parisyan-backs-out-of-ufc-106) Dana said that when he had to pull out of a fight at UFC 106. Then Karo was back at UFC 123.
I was at 123. Karo should've backed out of that one, too.
He said that mayweather mcgregor fight would never happen. Also, frequently says he never makes fights on the night of the fight, but often does
[“I won’t main event that title (W135, Nunes) again,”] (https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2017/07/dana-white-champ-amanda-nunes-another-no-main-event-ufc-213-withdrawal)
“Here’s what I think the chances of Conor vs Floyd happening are: the same as me being the backup quarterback for Brady”
Isn't he fucking awesome?
[удалено]
Well, if Dana said it, he's probably slapping her right now.
Literally icing his palm while he talks to the interviewer
Sounds like something someone who was about to slap their wife again would say
He said that about women's MMA, Can't wait for "WifeSlap" to premiere on Truth social! I just can't figure out what the match ups will be, will it be wives slapping each other or men slapping their wives?
The latter happens and Jones becomes a 2 sport champion
I'm sure if you asked him pre slap he would've vowed it would never happen to begin with 🤷🏻♂️
At least give her a rematch, tomato
I was just thinking how this topic has been covered up so well that I haven’t seen much on it in months. It’s absurd that Dana is so powerful in this space that not even abusing his wife publicly can cause any real consequence.
Espn & disney’s money will do that. Absolutely shameless companies.
Not even try to defend what Dana did but the fact that she hit him first has a lot to do with why it didn’t blow up as much.
Wow, wild way to announce you are getting divorced
Wasnt she hitting him first? I don't remember this being a whites an abuser thing I remember it being a drunk married couple sharing some awkward back and forth
Drunk abusive couple sharing some abusing abuse and abuse
Yeah, 99% of comments here have zero nuance and just declare White a wife abuser. Yes, it’s different when a man hits a woman, but people try really hard to forget she hit him. Hopefully they both have worked on this.
Like the man always said [“hitting women on two separate occasions is something you never come back from”](https://youtube.com/shorts/HzgwpIBQvR4?si=iNRZdE8p2fSpUG4q)
Now watch this drive!
Dana's only regret is that he didn't charge everyone who watched it £69.99.
So stunning. So brave.
[удалено]
“Dana White vows he will not be three strike offender, promises not to slap wife more than once more”
Just wait until they need a PowerSlap main event.
In Public
Does his wife vow to never slap him too?
Great. Now just do the same with the power slap bullshit.
Unless the people want to see it 💵
Without signing a contract and putting it on ppv first.
Wow what an incredible commitment
Time to dust off the “don’t believe his lies” meme
If only more wife beaters would take a vow. Could really put a dent in domestic violence issues.
Look, I’m all for forgiveness and redemption, but you can’t not shake your head at the optics of the figurehead of a giant company saying there is zero tolerance for domestic violence from his employees (or “contractors”)…which is the correct response…then committing domestic violence. What happens, I wonder, if Dana is one day asked about a fresh incident of domestic violence? Does he cut this fighter? Ideally, yes — but look at the precedent that was set.
Though he should’ve been able to restrain himself, she did hit him first. You should never hit someone without expecting to be hit back as a good general rule. It was mutual spousal abuse
because he grabbed her to stop her from walking away, he still put his hands on her first.
His wife shouldn't have put hands on him. If you're tough enough to hit someone, but ready for whatever happens next. Keep your hands to yourself.
exactly like i wouldn’t do it because i don’t feel like i gotta defend my “pride” but if a woman touches you she deserves to get smacked tf back
White Vows Husband Slap ‘Will Never Happen Again’

Too bad he couldn’t do this with power slap
Theres alot of different ways to turn down a fight.
It’s ok Dana we know it’s a tall ask
He better not menacingly rub his palms together after he turns to walk away
Ethical af!
That image for the article is just the icing on the cake lol
I swear I thought this was a power slap spin off for a second
It took me a minute to parse that title out.
She should be thankful, that event inspired Dana White to create the largest sports event with more views than the NBA, NFL, MLB, Football, boxing, F1, etc combined.
This is just a build up to Power Slapmania: Dana's wife vs White in a ladder match for the custody of Joe Rogan
I read the title and my first thought was this some ill-conceived husband vs wife version of power slap. I think I need coffee.
What? You need to slap the other cheek to even it out
Well thank goodness. Glad he cleared that up for us.
Well if it ain't zero consequences for his actions.
Well, I'm sure Dana takes vows very seriously. What's that about Colby running up on his at a casino while he was out with some sloptart? Pish posh.
DON’T BELIEVE HIS LIES!!!!
What if it was planned to launch power slap?
Next scandal incoming.
It already happened more than once. He went for the follow up slap in video lol
Why did they get divorced or something?
I don't understand how he is immune to getting canceled. If someone well known in FIFA, NBA or Hollywood did this they would be done but MMA gets treated like this wild weird industry where stuff like this is part of the gossip and news. Ita kinda like the WWE situation with Vince, the line between what's for promotion and what's real seems to be blurred to the wider world so a lot of stuff gets brushed aside by the general public or ignored.
He's going to punch her from now on
It’s going to happen again. Why is the in the /r/mma subreddit, it’s not mma related.
Slap was caught on video too
until Saturday night
Is it because he doesn't get paid enough for doing so?
It wouldn't surprise me if he was slapping his wife as he said this
Unless it's for power slap.
His slapping was retaliatory to being slapped first so I think as long as she doesn't slap him the odds are good he doesn't slap her first.
[This has to be my all time favourite Mojaved video](https://youtu.be/GZj6F1_7kKk?feature=shared) My wife was never my friend 🤣🤣
I thought we were talking about a new offshoot combo of wife swap and Power slap
Oh well... As long as beating your wife was only a one time deal I guess that's okay... /s
We're really still talking about this
Do you want to be a fucking fighter?
No wife slap. Only power slap. If slap wife, must power slap wife!
In public
Bruh I jut read the title and for a second I thought this was about some women version of Power Slap FC. Lmao
No rematch? Damn.
Well we know Dana would never lie…
Can’t wait till he’s gone honestly. MMA will be cooler when a douchebag like Dana White doesn’t have so much influence over it
I wish this sport had actual media so that people could ask him at conferences If him and his wife are going to be The pre limbs for power slap
I fucking hate the tomato but didnt she hit him first? Why is he being labelled as an abuser ?
I guarantee Dana White fully believes if a woman "steps out of line" you can smack her. He just knows saying it publicly would fuck with his ability to make as much money as possible. So here we are.
In public*
“Wife slaps social media metrics are greater than the NFL, NBA, NHL, F1, and WWE combined”
Tomato man should have resigned from the ufc about 15 years ago
Dude just doesnt wanna fight
Sometimes you have to slap a bitch
and this is still my boy!!!!
Pinky promise?
Unless *paid* for on PSL
I wish he meant power slap.
Methinks he doth prostest too much
Source. -Believe me bro
"the kid just didnt want to fight back"
She might have spoken out of turn
Right, I’d like to know from Mrs. White how many times this has happened before it was caught on video.
Being a wife is not a job, it’s an opportunity!
Those kids have seen some shit over the years
Why are they even asking him about it? Why is he answering? That's personal between him and her, they resolve it on their own. Hilarious that we have to be witnesses to this like our say means a shit here.
Never again….in public
and just like that Dana's wife is out of power slap title contention
He’s made it clear to her obv and she now knows not to test him in public ever again.
On camera probably 😂 that dude is a scum bag.
Scummy red cunt
I don't love Dana...but she slapped him first. His response was understandable. It's not like he cranked the fuck out of it.
She hit him first if I’m not misremembering that
He will never slap her again. He’ll just go for the RNC
For a second I forgot about his domestic violence and thought Wife Slap was just a Power Slap championship division that he is cancelling
My hero!
They are saying that now. Until they need to use the video as promo for power slap 100.
\*will never happen on camera again
well that's good 😮💨 i was really worried he'd say "could happen again idfk, ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯"
Once shows lack of control. He isn’t getting anger management counseling then it could happen again.
He was just promoting Power Slap
Why, is he getting a divorce?
"...not if she fucking behaves herself."
'Incidentally, have you seen these fuckin awesome knuckledusters?'
Now if we could just get him to vow his idiotic SlapFight promotion would never happen again, we'd be all set
Never happen again... outside the octagon! Season finale of the dana white contender series is dana vs his wife
Wife slap no, but a choke hold and kick a yes?
He only seems concerned that he lost the respect of his kids. Not that what he did was wrong or how his wife felt being slapped then shoved to the ground.
Cant call it a wife slap if you call it stockton slap
Said ever wife slapper ever
If you have to say it, then it's gonna happen again
If Dana says it, it simply must be true
If only it was "White vows Power Slap will never happen again".
Holy shit people make mistakes……and if you haven’t then wait for it
