News Dana White Adresses the NYE Incident: "Don't Defend Me... I Was Wrong.".

[Hellowhosthat]

Just done the media day now which you can watch here but I can't timestamp it because it's still going on.



Basically says no excuse for what he did, will have to live with the label of wife beater for the rest of his life and he doesn't want anybody to defend him as what he did was clearly wrong.

All the fighters who came out and defended him

Mod Note : Domestic Abuse is not a joking matter. You should never put your hands on anyone... please do not post anything advocating domestic violence.

Well at least the Goof is owning up to it

People make mistakes. It’s between Dana and his Wife whether or not they want to reconcile

 

[Thesnake101]

Sherdoggers know best though.

 

[Poirierfan]

Yeah, but MMA fans will continue to support outlandish shit because 3/4 of them are as dumb as rocks. You know you are, fuck faces.

What fighters actually defended him?

They already did so.

Had your back for that 20 years Bald Father

What fighters actually defended him?

Jamahal Hill for sure. There's others.

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

What fighters actually defended him?

Their silence was defending.

 

[humdizzle]

i mean there is really no other way to spin it.

the only PR move is to own up to it and be self deprecating. hoping to get sympathy.

 

[reviv4l]

That slap was just the tip of the iceberg anyway, lol.

 

[avenue94]

Judging by the diction it sounds more like WME sent a PR crisis rep to walk him through a statement lol.

 

[humdizzle]

a good pr move would be to give $250k to a women's shelter and not the nelk boys.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Guessing he just said this impromptu as no UFC Certified® reporter would ask

 

[SeattleFightFan]

Jamahal Hill for sure. There's others.

ouch. not a good look.

 

[Shroud of turinabol]

Yeah, but MMA fans will continue to do so because 3/4 of them are dumb as a rock. You know you are, fuck faces.

Says you

It's a shitty situation. His wife slapped him and he slapped her back. People need to keep their toxic bullshit behind closed doors. That said, Dana needs to ask himself how he would punish one of his fighters if it was one of them, and not him.

Many of us may hate Dana but he addressed it probably as well as he could in the moment, whether you guys think it's solely PR or not. If he's sincere, he now needs to work on himself going forward and be better, however he does it. He's right, he's now a 'woman beater'. He should not have hit her period. Behind closed doors he has to deal with his family, and his kids who are anywhere from children to young adults. That's more important than the UFC in all reality.

He is wrong. He shouldn't have done that. Their dirty laundry is out there and even more so he's correct, don't defend him. You shouldn't.
