Dana White needs to briefly step away from UFC to raise awareness about domestic violence

Dana White's life changed forever on the night of Dec. 31, 2022, when he decided to slap his wife, Anne, in the face while the couple was in Mexico celebrating New Year's Eve.

Of all the good White has done in this world — championing numerous charitable causes, creating thousands of jobs, privately going out of his way to help scores of needy, ill and down-on-their-luck people — he undid a lot of it when he chose to slap back after his wife first slapped him.

The two words no man ever wants to have attached to his name — domestic abuser — will follow him forever.
