"I could give a s*** what everybody else thinks"- When Dana White disclosed the sole concern when he slapped his wife on New Year's Eve

UFC president Dana White was involved in a physical altercation with his wife Anne White at a New Year's Eve party in 2022.

The incident happened at a nightclub in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and the couple were filmed arguing before Anne slapped Dana White and he retaliated by slapping her back. The two later admitted to being extremely drunk due to the ongoing celebrations and blamed their actions on their intoxication.

Dana White apologized publicly in a press appearance but also clarified later to Piers Morgan in an interview that the apology was not directed to the world but rather to his own family members.

"I mean everybody was acting like there needs to be some big apology to the world. No, the apology was to my kids, for me and my wife. Nobody wants to see their dumb drunk parents slapping each other on TMZ, do you know what I mean? Our oldest son didn't talk to us for like four days, and the other kids had to deal with some stuff too. It's embarrassing. The only apology that needed to be made was to our children, and the only relationships that needed to be handled immediately, was between us and our kids... and we got through it as a family."

The UFC president continued:

"It's definitely not fun, but it's something that, you know, as a man, you have to stand up and you have to deal with it and handle your business, take your lumps and deal with whatever comes with it. But like I said, the most important part of it is to handle it as a family first. As long as you get your family straight, I could give a s*** what everybody else thinks."
