Dana White and his wife, Anne White, have been in a marriage for the last 26 years. The couple, though not commonly seen outside together, has never made headlines in a bad light. The video of the UFC boss and his wife slapping each other on NYE went viral on Twitter as fans from the same club taped the ugly incident.

The couple was in the VIP section of the pub in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The video was released by TMZ and has been circulating the internet ever since. The couple can be seen first talking to each other before the slaps were fired. Anne, the wife of the UFC boss was the first to raise her hand according to the video released.

White in turn responded with multiple slaps as he pushed away his wife. The club seemed to be crowded and the couple also tried to be separated by the members there but wasn’t enough for the fight to break up. White has always condemned violence towards women and spoke to TMZ about this incident shortly.

The successful fight promoter is aware of how terrible the situation was and has apologized to his wife and kids. The couple is currently more focused on taking care of their kids and keeping them safe. Anne White also spoke to TMZ and said this was “uncharacteristic” of White.
