“She’s a total stud, the kid hits like a truck and she has a very bright future in this company. We’ll make sure she’s taken care of.”
That’s hilarious
“What was the question?”
braaa u nailed it
As usual breaking attendance records and performance of the night went to my wife. Next question. How many times do I have to tell you we don't book fights the night of a fight.
Dana White's post-slap press conference.
Hilarious 😂
This is low key hilarious 😂😆😂
Funny cause its true 😂
😆
Best comment…ever!
At the end of the day, if you’re over 50, nothing good happens in a nightclub
Unless you own that mfkr
That's true at any age. I think.
Or if you're 21...
That's a great point!
All I saw in that video was equality.
This isn't a marriage, this is an opportunity
Best comment
Yooo hands down the most fitting comment
She should take this opportunity to take half of Dana money 😂🤣
Omg your name matches your comment so well lmao xD
That's what marriage is though
Nice of Zelensky to loan Dana his only sweater.
Lmao
His reward for not letting petr win.🤔
Lmfao
LOL Both gr8 actors
'I'm giving myself the fight of the night bonus'
Kid showed a lot of heart
She took that shot, pretty good
Dana & his wife need to settle this once & for all on their Power Slap championship debut
still here lncel
First ever inter gender power slapping contest @ catchweight 😂😂😂
With jake Paul as the ref
@@beauaIloevv what? I think you were trying to say something clever but you just sound like a idiot
I got my money on mrs.white 😂😂😂
I had it 10-9. She threw more significant strikes. Although Dana controlled the fight I do feel she won the round.
I saw it the other way 🤔 Dana had that wrist control and yes right after that she hit him flush but Dana fired back twice, and the power difference was clear. 10-9 Dana, performance of the night
@@Robert96902 50 G's BABBAYYYY!
Definitely deserves a fight of the night bonus
No one fires back like I do - Dana white. He fired back alright 🤣
Oufff 😂
Never leave it in the hands of the judges.
Cold
😂😂😂
😅
No way the first time they slapped each other was caught on camera. I’m sure they have been hitting each other in private for years. Your first abusive act isn’t in public.
Exxxxxxxxactly ☝️100%
Whether he gets punished or not, he will live with this for the rest of his life, because he literally owns a company called Power SLAP Championships. Jesus, the irony is glorious.
All I saw in that video was equality!
If people think this is the first time he(and she) got physical with each other they are super naive imo.
@jase allenson probably but not always, we don't know what the argument was about, it might have been a big deal and they aren't discussing that part.
You going to ignore the part where she hit him first?
@@ROWGAMEROOM hey hey hey, we live in a world that violence is only violence when a man does it. I'm a man myself, but even I have accepted the sexist nature surrounding assault.
Dana Whites First Words Back :
"What's up gang🙂" 😭😭😭
I was trying not to laugh about this situation😂😂😂😂
and after that... "Happy New Year" 😂😂😂 c'monnn
So what's he supposed to say. He has done a lot of interviews with these media journalists. That's his personality. People will always find something to complain about.
A good punishment would be for Dana to have the first Power Slap Champion get one free slap
"Nobody fires back more then i do" *pause* Then moment of realization..... he should have chose better words lollll
The best thing he did was slap her back, could you imagine how much people would mock him if he let his wife beat him up in public
Judges robbed him, give that man his belt!
If you really think about it Dana probably worked really hard on that slap league and it was probably instinct to just take his turn second you know.
This should be his defence
You Libtards are so immature
Honestly that's realistic
Keep offering more lame excuses for a man who literally says he doesn't want anyone defending him.
@@Grumpy-Pants soz grumpy pants
I love how insane rich people are.
The only repercussion he could think of was a 30 day vacation. No pay cut. No required counseling or therapy, or couples therapy, or family therapy. No public service. No donations to women's shelters. No PSAs about not hitting your spouse.
I think he literally can't imagine consequences. He's that far gone.
Your comment is telhe definition of tell me your broke without saying your broke. You have never had money and I can tell you preach money doesn't buy happiness but that's because your broke and jealous. Good day.
it’s equal rights she hit him first. don’t ask for equal rights then be mad when it’s equal and a man hits a woman who hits him first. not saying it’s rigjt personally i wouldn’t have done that but i don’t see anything wrong
@@djdjdjdjd9259 you’re very good at projecting your own insecurities
You are so spot on and i think its gross how much support he receoved for this
they hired the leading PR person to write that thing up lol
Dana has huge elf-like ears. I never noticed before
I noticed that for the first time a month ago. Now those massive ears are all I'm focused on when he speaks.
HGH ears.
Lots of gear
Me either OMG
Can't unsee it now 😂
When he said the irony I about lost it 😮😂
Assault should be handled the same way across the board
Yeah. He's wife should do time
Dana said himself "If you come after me, especially if its someone I dont like nobody comes firing back more than I do." Ask his wife, she will tell you too!!!...lol
“Taking steps to make sure it never happens again “….yeah it’s called quitting alcohol….
Quitting alcohol and weed, best decision of my life.
@@StallionFernando weed is the one thing that keeps me sane in life
Don’t blame the alcohol… it was their choice
@@StallionFernando weed have the opposite effect lol ur fried, youve never smoked once in ur life i can tell ur a little 12 year old hahaa
@@StallionFernando the weed is good for you little boy, you need to take all your money and spend it on weed every day to get big and strong
The kind of society that holds one adult less liable than another is a society that has second class citizens, that's the very spirit of prejudice and the conditions that codify injustice.
Punishable by fine means legal for a price.
@@JonJonesWantsYourBuho Yeah, but what about not punished at all.
F4gg0t
I like Jesus's words. "Those who have not sinned cast the first stone".
@@malcolmcain4420 I guess if everybody is smacking everybody you're absolutely right.
Reporter: Would you have done anything different?
DW: I would have stayed home (and slapped her in private)
Thought the same thing. So, you stay home so no one sees you hit your woman?
This comment is gold😭😂
Self defense isn't a crime. Equal opportunity means equal treatment.
Why isn’t anyone talking about why his wife slapped him first ?
yes, everyone is avoiding that, to curb domestic abuse, neither the wife or husband should hit the other
Exactly
Jon Jones and Dana White share something in common now.
All I saw in that video was equality!
@@shaneashby5890 Dana had an opportunity to deflect her slaps, create distance and walk away. He chose to hit her like a beta
@@michaeltrevino201 Well women say that want equality and that is equality. And then when you speak to feminists they say there is no difference between men and women and gender is nothing but a social construct. Hey Michael don’t shoot the messenger, what women want, is what women get. Equality it is! Women don’t get to pick and choose when they want equality and then when they don’t want equality. So equality it is!
@@michaeltrevino201 Brain dead take
Whenever someone uses the word alpha and beta unironically, you know they're dumb
8:03 "Slap her at home instead" LOL
Thought this was handled pretty well. As far as public apologies go…
He was well coached😅
Its easy when every journalist there jerks Dana off and dont ask the important questions
No reference to how he will learn from his actions. No advocacy for for domestic victims. Mediocre apology at best.
@@the_calibrator 2 people fighting, neither are victims. There's no apology that is ever good enough for clowns like you.
All I saw in that video was equality!
i thought the wife threw the first slap lmao
Alright now where's his wife's apology?
12:20 Great question. Any fighter in a similar situation who is not making the UFC millions would be fired.
What about Greg hardy ?
@@JOK3RC4RDx there have been plenty of fighters that have done stuff like this or worse. You get punished legally, and it's not up to your place of work to go beyond that unless they really see fit
@@jankie55 which kinda proves my point that all these dudes still fought afterward and did way worse stuff than Dana he barely tapped her seriously doubt he would ever have faced legal problems another thing is all those fighters it was gfs or flings not a 30 year marriage
Nah she hit him first
“Hopefully everyone see what’s happening with me”
Dana, futures instances like this are gonna see nothing is happening with you other than you feeling bad.
Everbody going in on Dana..... SHE Slapped him FIRST!!!
I agree that no one should defend him or his wife. Both were in the wrong, and it sucks for their family. Let us focus on some good fights this year!
@@roguedungeon3309 he grabbed her wrists and she slapped him so she could leave and he slapped her
@@roguedungeon3309 lol what video did you see after she slapped him he then slapped her then grabbed her wrist and then slapped her again. How is that trying to calm her
@@Modrunnermusic wait wait if he had her wrists and she slapped him so he let go then how did she slap him if he had control of her wrists?
"Nobody is more free speech than me, you know if any of the fighters want to.. want to come out and voice their opinions..."
-Dana White
Dana saying “Me leaving hurts the company and the fighters” is him saying im able to do what I what because money income is more important than opinions…
That slap league Dana’s getting caught up in is getting to his head
Don’t feel bad for yourself
eat your humble pie it’s gonna follow u forever n ever
Slappy new year Dana!
Major props to Dana for being a man about this and taking responsibility he easily could have tried to push this off and place blame but he didn’t he owns it
"I just came out here to say, focus on them, don't focus on me" 💀
@@artur583 Lmao. 🤣
If he tried to push blame and not take responsibility the community and haters would have eaten him alive as well as the ufc bosses.
@Nl_Bush_Doctor lol yeah. I don't understand at all how owning up to a defenseless action is somehow props to some of the clowns 😐
@@artur583 I don't understand either makes no cents.
Hope all becomes normal in their family soon. I was just watching the altercation video n could see what happened.
Whatever, the reason, it is not pleasant in the family.
Don't worry Dana and family, this can happen to anybody n anytime in life, infact there would hardly be any family in the world where such an unpleasant altercation has not happened atleast once. Gravest thing was that it happened in public glare; it does not mean that it should happen in private; should ideally never happen.
I am sure that Dana n family will overcome this ordeal. My prayers n good wishes.
An MMA Fan
WOW dude. You must have slapped your wife a couple times in the past. No that isnt normal AT ALL and no it cant happen to anyone. Do you know how you can be sure it never happens. By never hitting women. I NEVER hit a woman before. Also if you think thats the first time he did that its laughable. He responded with violence so quickly and its shitty either way but he didnt just hit her once either. It was in public too! He didnt even hesitate. He hit her multiple times in public and luckily its in public so he can look at it and see how stupid he is. Maybe this will be the last time. I can almost guarantee it wasnt the first though.
A fan of decent people
No. It couldn't happen to anybody at anytime in their life... it can only happen to a coward that would hit his wife. But you saying that leads me to believe it has or would happen in your life. ...
I learned in elementary school don't hit someone bigger then me, she just needs an education.
Dana took this sport to another level, this might be different or not be here at all, you are the champ, whatever Halle we in your personal life it’s your personal life. No one should get involve
As being someone who grew up in a domestic violence environment for 10 years my father has never once admitted or apologized for anything he has ever done. Good on Dana for being honest and ashamed of his actions. Realizing his mistake and owning up to it and knowing he can never live it down is a very honorable thing for him to do.
L dad
He didn’t make a mistake. She hit him first and she should have been put in jail!
If I were Dana I would quote two people:
1-"for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction"
2-" I’d like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody"
Facts
He's a human who makes choices, not a dumb rock that moves when another rock hits it.
🙌😂
Dan Hardy gets fired by UFC for yelling at a Woman, Dana doesn't even get a slap on the wrist.
She hits him first and they call her a domestic violence victim? I don't agree with his actions but he didn't abuse her he just gave it back
“Your kids are gonna have to watch that video one day. What are they gonna say about you?”
-Ariel Heelwani
@@MalikChrom amen. ariel is such a weasel. that dude just character assassinates and causes trouble. he makes people extremely uncomfortable and is probably such a slime ball behind closed doors. he's all about the almighty dollar.
Well done dad that was a 10-8 round
Reflection goes far deeper than just waking up the next morning and then saying sorry. Guaranteed this is the first time that it's happened out in public.
What he says about the kids knowing you etc my boys are 3 n 7 n a completely agree even at there age they know straight away a difference because never shout n stuff when do it's out ordinary.
He's already been labeled as a "domestic abuser" for the rest of his life. 🤦🏻♂️ I don't really think he needs to suffer any further. Them interviewers were trying way too hard. 😂
“He’s one helluva fighter” - Floyd, Probably.
😂😂
Dana's "Bill Cosby" sweater looks nice.
Dana has some big ole ears!! Kudos to him for taking it like a man and taking full responsibility. He’s exactly right, no excuses. I messed up, I’m trash, I should have never done it. I respect that!!
Dana says dont defend me and then all the wife beaters defend him still. 😆
We have all seen the video at the bar when the guy punches the girl who hits him she goes out cold and we go “Like”👍 Equality is to both males and females
Well the way I saw it was that his wife was actually the one who slapped him and then he just slapped him back. Why is no ine talking about that.
I don't think it matters to people that she slapped him but it's all over if he slappes her
I tell you it's not the first time they fight , it's first time we see them fighting.
what is the brand of this sweater? it looks great.
The smirk of a man that knows he could get away with murder.
I think Dana has done all he can, in terms of taking accountability.
Most of the uproar from other mma media seems to be related to the lack of action from ESPN and senior management.
If he didn't slap back use would all day he's Anne's bald6wife who got stockton slapped in public
When is the slap competition starting please? Now I m interested
It was big of him to come to this conference knowing he was gunna be grilled about what happened… he owned up to his mistakes n took full responsibility placing all the blame on emself… clearly alcohol was involved and i honestly hope he can get help n continue his journey with his family n business as best to his abilities
Who asked
Hot take lol
Ya he owned up to it because he has no other choice, he got caught THIS time 😂
ESPN set the mood with that thumbnail.
What a men , if he wouldn't slap back his wife she will be here on this interview apologizing but she wouldn't handle it like this men . So i think he seen that coming and he took control of it in the moment by taking the blame of the fight . A true real men 👏👏👏
The moment he said "what's up gang" 🤣😂
"She was never my friend" -Dana White
I’m not trying to defend Dana because he definitely deserves all the criticism because real men were raised to never hit a woman. But in the era of feminism, gender equality and all that isn’t she supposed to go thru the same amount of scrutiny because she hit him first? In the era of equal rights aren’t the violence rules applied equally as well? I’m genuinely curious cause a few days into the argument I never seen any criticism coming her way...
But feminists are right. "Men should never hit a woman" is stupid. Makes no sense and can't be justified logically.
Equal rights equal fights. She hit first.
The advertisement hitting right after Dana says "as for her and i, we apologized to each other, apologized to our kids, so , yknow" and then he makes a little face and the advertisement comes in. Unreal.
That's youtubes ads bro he's not incharge of them
He could have at least thanked his striking coach!
“Altercation with wife” ESPN is a joke
He defended himself.
Hate that Dana was literally trying to hold back a smile … it’s obvious he doesn’t feel any type of remorse for this . He feels bad it was recorded. That being said there is also no way this is the first time dana an his wife have fought like this . I hope she’s getting the same treatment as Dana. They should both consider putting down the sauce an coming back to reality for awhile .
@5:40 great question!!! Not sure if he answered it correctly!
What was the gate $??
I'm almost shocked Helwani isn't in the crowd trying to pelt Dana with rotten tomatoes.
Its more of a vendetta for Ariel than about whats right or justice or whatever.
You don't fight a tomato with more tomatoes.
To much of a sissy.
@@Winston-1984 don't think you're right on that.
@@Winston-1984 not at all true.
Women need to get set straight sometimes.
God bless them both!
If him and wifey are cool than who r u to judge the guy or girl , important thing is both of them got each other’s back, RESPECT DANA
Jon Jones's rubbing his hands together peaking from behind a tree right now
The problem with feminism is that they wana be equal to men but when you treat them equally and react to them the way you would with a man, suddenly they don’t want to be equal anymore. Dana did wrong and we shouldn’t even know about his private problems, he’s apologised to his wife, But the feminists make it worse and don’t let it go. They want him to quit, they want him to apologise to all women etc. lol
Funny thing is he still didn’t treat it like a nother man he barely hit her if a man slapped you probably do a whole lot more than that
Because this guy is in power , so he is not punished for hitting a woman, this is ridiculous, just imagine if It was a fighter !!Fans should not buy ppv for this guy.
I feel like he doesn’t look at it as domestic violence cause he can’t even say what he did he kept saying “the thing that happened on nye” I don’t think a public slap is the first time it has happened. He’s right he will lose a lot of respect from people.
Dana is a straight up good dude man. People can say what they want. He made a video about it right away. He made sure to notify his kids and he and his wife also had a good talk about it! Now he is coming to a press conference. Mad respect
Talk is talk. Anyone can do it. Dana hit his wife in a public place. Who knows what those kids have seen in private. Anyone who hits his wife is not a man, let alone a good man..
@@Jordancheddar Then it's fitting he married a person who by your standards is not a woman, let alone a good woman.
Haha sure.. is a man's role in a marriage the same as a woman's?
If yes then I wish you all the best with your marriage if you choose to have one.
@@Jordancheddar Which part of the woman's role is to aggress the man? I'm not here to save anyone; there's no good behavior here.
But to dismiss the issue by disqualifying him for a single action this mild is pretty unproductive if you are actually concerned about the kids and true conflict resolution. Is it helpful to brand anyone who has a heat of the moment reaction and ignore any attempts to repair the issue correctly?
Credit where credit is due. He is owning this mess as he should. I agree with him that the biggest punishment will be that he will carry this cloud for the rest of his life.
I also think he will come out in the near future with actions and programs supporting domestic abuse victims. Let’s wait and see
30 days? That was ESPN's idea. He should resign and go bye bye.
Real men that hate women who likes slapping their husband's around don't care what you think. Now go get slapped by your wife some more!🤣🤣🤣
Could you imagine if Ariel was at that press conference 😅
That's a hilarious hypothetical
"so Dana were you drunk when you slapped ur wife, we saw she slapped you first but im just wondering... were you drunk here, is it the alchol that led to this ? " first question hed asks
This made me lol
She assaulted him first, but he could've handled it better. Not a "eye for an eye" against someone much smaller than you
thanks Brian for the insight 👍
Dana himself said theres no excuse for what he did so quit making excuses for him. He grabbed her and didnt let her leave before "she assaulted him" its not like she hit him out of nowhere. Oh and hes 3x her size
@UC7QGdEDLyL6g4DxJtCB7ncA Dana says he was in error because he doesn't want sponsors to drop the UFC.
Why even say your reply? No matter if women hit first real men just walk away!
@@tj111899 but your making excuses for her slapping him so your the same
It would be more manly if he invited Ariel for this one press conference.
Everyone’s being quick to judge Dana, what if his wife identifies as a punch bag ?
Let's see how this things plays out
BUT WAIT… SHE SLAPPED HIM FIRST SO WHY IS HE THE ONLY ONE GETTING SLAMMED??? WHY CAN’T THE WIFE GET SLAMMED FOR SLAPPING HER HUSBAND?
you never bounce back from hitting a woman -dana white
Easy repercussion - no suspension, but how about docked pay? Donations to Domestic Violence awareness / rehab groups? Even boosted fighter pay?
The problem with this whole “negative image” thing is that people pay to watch fighters, not him. Suspension doesn’t affect his pay via ownership. His pockets need to bleed a bit, ideally to a cause(s) that work towards preventing these things from happening again, anywhere.
She struck him first. The only thing that should have happened is that she should have went to jail
2:42 No one is indispensable. The machine will move on. It may be slow for a while but it will get to speed up. Change may be good.
Sorry not in the case of Dana White a lot of what he does is behind the scenes. Things that no one sees. For example during the pandemic did u know how many leagues closed down. Yes all expect for UFC. He vowed not to shut down all lay off workers but found way to keep UFC open, fighters getting paid and so on. That what leaders do. Yeah he is indespensible.
"my reason for being here today is that I wanted you guys to focus on them and not me"
WHAT?!?? !?!?
