Dana White's wife defends UFC president after he slapped her during altercation

Dana White's wife has defended her husband after footage emerged showing the UFC president slap her during an altercation at a New Year's Eve celebration.

The UFC boss was in Mexico with his wife Anne to ring in the New Year when the couple started arguing, which saw White slap her twice. The video ended up with TMZ, who have released it, much to the combat sport supremo's embarrassment, forcing an apology from White.

But the 53-year-old's wife has given her side of the situation, explaining that the incident was out of character for her husband and insisting that this was the first time any such action had taken place. She also implored fans to respect the pair's privacy as they have three children.
