If there’s anyone Dana White has publicly hated more than Ariel Helwani, it is Oscar De La Hoya and Tito Ortiz. The UFC boss’s bitter rival from the boxing world has come out to give his two cents on the “slapping” incident involving White and it comes with a tinge of sarcasm.

Not long ago, Dana White and his wife, Anne White were caught engaged in a physical altercation with each other at a night club in Cabo, Mexico. The UFC head honcho went viral for the wrong reason on New Year’s Eve and was forced to put out an immediate apology. Oscar De La Hoya, who has differences with White, hit the UFC boss below the belt.

White, back in 2014, publicly stated that there is no “bouncing back” from hitting a woman. The former boxer reacted to this past message from Dana White and wrote a brutal reply in his tweets. “My good friend Dana White is so greedy he decided to steal fighter pay from his new league on TBS ‘Power Slap’ by getting fighter of the night against his WIFE. Those Boston aerobic instructors are real tough guys,” wrote Oscar.

The bitter rival has taken multiple digs at the multi-millionaire fight promoter with his tweet. From resurfacing the “fighter pay” accusations to mocking White for his past as a “boxing” instructor, De La Hoya has touched all topics.

When NFL player Ray Rice was caught in a domestic abuse scandal, Dana White spoke against it on Fox Sports. The UFC boss called the incident, “horrific” and “disturbing”. White fully went after the NFL player for showing no remorse after abusing his wife.

“We’ve been human beings in letting these guys make up for what they’ve done and come back. There’s one thing that you never bounce back from and that’s putting your hands on a woman. Been that way in the UFC since we started here. You don’t bounce back from putting your hands on a woman,” said White talking to Fox Sports.

Cut to nine years later, White finds himself in a similar situation. Fans and several critics have recalled the quotes of White and demanded fair justice. Will Dana White step down as the UFC boss after slapping his wife in public?
