He told us, "You've heard me say for years, 'There's never ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman,' and now here I am on TMZ talking about it."

Hell of a post fight interview!
😂😂😂😂
😆😆😆😆😆😆
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmfaooo
Dude I spit my drink out reading thisss 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dana broke his own Cardinal Rule: Don’t ever leave it in the hands of the judges”
Lmao
Lol niiice
Ahaha
it's just an excuses he wants divorce and a new P*ssy. Dana white wants to be single again
Burn!
Its hard to watch such a veteran of the UFC have a post fight interview after a clear loss. Honestly, He looks scared and broken mentally, I dont think he even think he will ask for a rematch! What a heartbreaking way to retire one of the greats who gave so much to the business ! Pretty sure She has earned her place in the UFC hall of fame!
The take away is that he has know his wife since she was 12 years old. He said it 3x .
Reporter: "Would you ever hit your wife again?"
Dana: "We're gonna see how this thing plays out".
🤪😭😭🤪😂😂
🤣
"you know I don't make these decisions the day after the fight...."
@@gingysmalls8195 lol
Maybe some real man will knock his ass out for hitting a women the whole world would be laughing.
He can fix all of this by giving her a Performance Bonus

"Dana White, you're taking everything I worked for motherfucker" - Jon Jones
I can’t believe she just decked him one in public around his peers. That has to be one of the most degrading things for a someone. Use your words and cool down. Walk away. Go to the bathroom or something to chill out. Nobody should ever lay hands on another person unless it’s in the ring. Same goes for him. There’s no excuse for either of them.
alcohol changes people
@@qaseemyousaf6608 nah it makes you more of who you really are.
Not necessarily true @@nxrth9463
She tried to walk away but he grabbed her wrist not allowing her to which is assault.
the reporters niced dana big time. their questions were more like what your lawyer would tell you infront of the judge to remind you of what you practiced to say in the court. lol
“This is the fight business, shit happens “ - Dana
“That's fucking an eagle “ - Dana
☠️
😭😭
He beat the living sh!t out of her...
How's dana in the wrong? She slapped him he slapped her back what's the problem
Dana: my wife was never my friend.
🤣🤣🤣
We already knew he preferred the octagon girls anyway 😄😂
😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂
Looool
The drop in the background... Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit, Oh shit. is gold
10 - 9 while he wasn't that much dominant he still controlled the fight and he was the one pushing the pace even when the wife was the first to land significant strike
Hahahhaha
LOL
Make this man a ufc judge 🤣
That's exactly right.
Even Ben Askeren felt it
"Dana are you gonna sign her?"
"I don't know man this kid is a savage, hits real good and has a chin, we'll give her a couple more fights and see what happens"

It was a slap, she’s not a FIGHTER 😂🤣🤣😆😆. Everyone can slap someone, not everyone can be an MMA fighter 😄🤣🤣
🤣
@@CeeWorld69 obviously, it was a joke though
The track/dj in the background of the fight going so hard 💀💀💀💀
Lol the "oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit" after is perfect
I tell ya, she’s powerful and she’s fast. But precision beats power and timing beats speed, and that’s what you saw there - Dana White

That’s jokes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dana do you remember anything 🤦♂️ wow tmz what scumbags
Bro I fookin died man🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He thought he was a Diaz brother there for a minute 🤣 🍾🍻
The Scarface Diaz Brothers?
One thing I’m quite sure of is that was not the first time she hit him. Also maybe not the first time he hit her, but he knew she was going to hit him.
GSP to Dana - “I was nat impressed with your performance”

I read this in Gsp voice Lmaooo

They both deserve 50k bonus for performance of the night!!!

@@rodsworld1907 lmfao
Haha yeah right. If Dana is making the decision no one is getting paid.
Should have put her in submission or knock her out.
FBA deserve reparations for slavery . Dana deserves what we black people get.
Exactly there’s no excuse, she should’ve never laid a hand on him, she’s an abuser
You hypocrites are funny to me
When a guy gives you every std known to mankind. Eventually you slap him.
@@rapgee698 how’s he a hypocrite??
@@rapgee698 🤡
Where is Herb Dean when we needed him the most 😂
😂😭
When people report this story they forget to mention that she slapped him first very hard. He responded with a pretty light smack. It was obvious that he held back big time on the return slap trying not to really hurt her. People can say what they want but it's very hard to know how you'll respond right after someone smacks you very hard in the face. You are startled and immediate reaction is probably to respond.
He was grabbing her wrist as she was trying to get away. When she couldn’t get away she slapped him.
@@princeprince9227 So if your wife grabs your wrist to get your attention you swing on her as hard as you can? Or do you simply try to pull your wrist away like everyone else does? Lol.
@@gainsandgirls you can twist this if you like lol. Obviously they had a disagreement just let her walk away like she was trying to do before he grabbed her wrist and got bitch slapped.
@@princeprince9227 twisting facts to fit the story you want. Classic, good job.
@@valdie91285 it’s a video dummy. Twisting facts abt what narrative? Lol I dnt care abt Dana White or his wife. And mainstream media is ok with him doing it too.

Dana - “I could go to federal fucking prison”
Something is dead wrong in that guys head, first of all you don't even have the reflex to hit a woman if you're normal, and twice...
On top of that, in front of others without any hesitation, not for the risk of being spottet doing that shit but because it's even more humiliating to her. He gives himself a certain role, like a maffia boss hurting people while everybodys is watching, without caring about it.
I think these are his habits no matter all he's lying about, he does it without thinking since that's what he has been doing for 30 years... what a loser!

Always love Dana's post fight comments...this one delivered.
Underrated 🤣😭
All his post fight press conferences are BANGERS, this one fs 😂
😂
😂😂😂😂 fuuuuuck u hella funny
who won bonus'
Sometimes it's okay to give a little slap- Sean Connery
Respect for dana for accepting it is what it is and making no excuse.
Got caught keepin stank in check, meh - she clearly delivered the1st blow - equal rights as, looked like she opened with a left, he closed out the round swinging and tying up her hands - round goes to Mr Turner err White
“This is the fight business, shit happens.”
-Dana White.
Sean Connery said that if women get out of hand they need a little slap, so Dana did nothing wrong. If the Conn approves, it is good.
@@neglectfulsausage7689 you dont bounce back from hitting a woman - Dana White 2014
“This is the slap business”, considering Dana’s new business ventures.
She assaulted him first....
@@LuisContreras-pw8wj yeah but what is a woman? no one knows.
He hit her with the three piece and soda 🥤 😂😂
If I myself smack someone I would expect to get slapped back.
lmfao true
Depends on what was said. If I was saying some stuff that deserved a slap then I don't think you should hit back, but if she was being a hoe and also slapped me I would probably feel some type of way
But 99.99% of woman will go straight to the police and it would be the man who would be arrested and charged
Find better men.
You are a nice guy
They won't cancel this guy for hitting his wife, but they were quick to cancel Ime Udoka for cheating on his wife?
She hit him first. Don’t hit someone and not expect to get hit back
This really shouldn't be plastered all over social media and television. It's their business.
Kevin Lee somewhere on the phone with Dana telling him “I’ll fight your wife. I see a lot of holes in her game”.
“Do you think they’ll be a rematch?”
Dana: Let’s see how it plays out
There Only be a rematch in the privacy of there bedroom
Dana gets to explain himself, but not Ray Rice.
Seen many celebrities in similar situations, and nailed to the holy cross immediately stoned, shot, ridiculed and imprisoned with less proof.
You see him try to control her hands before she ever slapped him. She's a hitter. He was already expecting it.
She probably has a good reason to smack him, this guy is banging a lot of the ring girls and god knows what else.
Where do you practice your marriage counselling?
Exactly so this is not the first time it’s happened as he claims.
That’s what I said too.

I missed that part
Hahaha ya
Dumb comment. It's spelt " whether " if you're going to make a dumb comment , atleast try to spell properly
this isn't microsoft
One hell of a way to promote your slap fighting venture
She acted masculine wanting to fight a dude she got smacked out like one
Strange that this happens when he now has a slap fighting promotion
I was just thinking the same exact thing and look how bad the slap was that was horrible form
Lmao What a promotion 😂
EXACTLY!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Dana was too hype lol
😆😆
Never leave it up to the judges 🤦♂️
Jon jones certainly doesn’t leave it up to the judges. If you know what I mean.
We need a rematch
The top comment is copied and you've copied the copier.
New low!
Dana looked stunned but recovered fast then hit her with a powerful hook then went in for wrist control text book
He's making Sean Connery so proud right now.
Dana's wife - "IT'S EITHER ME OR CONOR !"
Dana - 😤😡🤬👋💥

Greatest comment ever 😂
Lol him.and Jones at the same vacation resort in Cabo🌯🌮🍹🍹🍸🍻
Ha😂
Would hate to have to answer to these two TMZ turds!
She hit him 1st bozo
Lmao this isn’t even controversy it’s evolved into full blown meme material. Thanks Dana
If only we were clear on what a woman is nowadays
"Its never happened before" , something someone says when it has happened before 🤣
Watch him shake his head no when he said it never happened before. He's lying. He's probably cheating on her. That's my bet
@@farkasjulia Danas got the sports bet makers in his pocket I wouldn't place a bet if I was you 😂
dumb comment. saying it never happened before could be a lie or could actually mean he has never hit her before. she hit first, he was drunk, seems like it triggered his fight reflex. fight, flight or freeze response is very real for some people and it is amazing to me how many commentors don't seem to understand that. its like a woman or child who freezes instead of fighting or fleeing. the body will react and protect itself because sometimes the mind doesn't have time to process what has or is happening.
After the first slap he was like “f*ck it I’m gonna go viral anyway” 😂
Facts hahahaha
better than labeled a chris rock 😉
Reporter:Dana would you hit your wife again? Dana: We’ll me and my wife has been married for 30 years and we been knowing each other since we were little.
Dude, look at the way he grabs her hands when she turns towards him. They have 100% slapped each other before.
Plus there was literally no hesitation, so this definitely goes on in their house
She*
Yessss the way he even makes excuses for himself, like it's just a normal thing for him, and unfortunately got caught this time. It's just like him excusing his favourite fighter for popping a drug test.
@@starwarsroo2448 they're just practising for Dana's slap competition
No doubt about it... Dana's mom said she punched him in the eye back in the day and caused severe damage. This ain't the first time
He’s taking this whole Slap Fighting League to the House. You know God damn well that’s not the first time
He is? The video i saw was her slapping him, then he slapped her back? Ur right tho, she probably beats him all the time
I hope he continues to defend himself should she ever attack him again 🎉
@@Hammerback972 Oh no I am all in for Dana…. Yah gotta protect yourself at all times 👊
Yeah, this is clearly promotion for the Slap Fighting League.
Relax femboy. He acted in self defense
This is happening to loads of families post lock down.
Oh? Do you have data or a link of some kind on this? That’s interesting to me.
Just saw a wild graph on stillbirth spikes post vaccine
@@Captain_newo My comment was not based on science sorry. It is just my intuition and in real observations, including violence on myself from my brother who has always been my best friend. I truly believe the lockdown affects have caused incredible long term damage, many are not meeting long term friends anymore and loneliness is a big killer. I could go on and on about other affects but it's all my intuition so of course it could all be wrong.
He’s got a good one. They will sort this out old fashion just like every mature man and woman should.
Why isn’t anyone questioning the wife hitting him? Unacceptable either way.
Because they are not even in the same weight class and Nobody cares about her because shes Not a public person
It's Always The Man's Fault That's What We're Taught Right
He said it himself, you don’t put your hands on a woman ever you walk away, bigger men can do it small men like you are pussies.
THANK YOU! i thought i was the only one?? she literally slapped him first. i thought women wanted “equality” 💀
because people are dumb and easily manipulated. They don't even seem to understand that they are normalizing female violence against men. Women are getting every day more and more comfortable hitting men first because they know that it's not a big deal and that nothing will happen to them.
I've been educated since I was a child that actions have consequences, and women should too. You can't just slap a man and think it's cool and not expecting any reactions back.
Half way through the slap he’s thinking “should I do it?”
“Yeah why not maybe a little one”
“That felt pretty good, I’ll give her another one”
😁😁😂😂😂😂
He was thinking: “I’ve never felt so alive” 😂
Then he looked like he grabbed her up or something. What a guy...
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Which slap? Looked like he tried 2
their is no reason to hit a woman!!! Bill burr"I can think of a bunch of reasons to slap my woman". Love it
hahaha that soundtrack is perfect - call it mental freezing boom slapp
It happened because they are two people trying to make it work when they realize they aren't meant for each other... he doesn't sound like someone who love his wife
"It was 1-1 going to the last round" (then Dana hits her three more times) to secure the win
LMAO, but I thought Dana hit her with a total of 2.
Jon Jones is smiling so hard right now.
FMM, too.

She deserved it tbh
Hell, way I seen it she hit him first. Don't hit a man and expect not to get hit like a man.
So when is she going to get berated for hitting him?
She got ‘em good😂 You could tell he held back for sure. You can also tell this isn’t the first time this has happened! They are both way to comfortable doing this in public for it to be the first time.
"It's never happened before. It's the first time it's ever happened"
Did you see how quickly he tried to grab those hands when she turned around 🤣
This ain't the first time; that's instincts

@@John.Flower.Productions I find it hard to believe this was the “first” time. Maybe not to his wife but maybe to an escort 😂 the point is this dude beats on women. It reminded me of when fighters are accusing other fighters of using ped’s and than weeks later that same fighter pops dirty 😂
People keep tacking about how he hit her. She had no right to hit him either, and she did it first. I actually respect Dana White for enforcing boundaries.
Too much alcohol+too much emotion=😳 This is very unfortunate for the children but it seems like they'll get past this as a family.
Now I know where the inspiration for power slap came from 🤣🤣
😂
Lol
He is definitely taking his promotion of the new slap fighting championship league seriously. As far as the actual "slaps"...."virtually IIIDENTICAL" 😂
Only in the west where men has no value and can easy get slapped and still be blamed for it
Dayum
💀
Where are all the woman wanting equal rights?
Don’t forget to mention that she slapped him first…
What crazy is that the people that were in that VIP area when that happened, didn't react as you would think one would act when you see a man hitting a woman. Maybe they're too scared to get in-between them?...
Just a very unfortunate situation. Hope they can work through this.
No they just watched her slapping him first so they know he did the right think buddy don't be submissive who loves women to peg him

At least he's coming forward and holding himself accountable.
“We’ve known each other since we were 12 years old” translation we’ve been throwing hands.
That's how I read that. Sounded like he was saying it's not the first time, and it's not going to be the last time either. But also that neither of them take it very seriously.
😂😂😂😂 exactly basically that aint the first wont be the last. And thats those married peoples business. I feel bad for the guy.
Dana: This isnt a marriage, it's an opportunity

She hit him first? So what did he do wrong?
He is a coward and he is just pretending to be sorry for his cowardly actions. He hit her more than once and he didn’t care that they were in public. Imagining how he treat her in private. Boycott him
"I could care less what anyone thinks about this". Meanwhile he is doing a interview on TMZ
