Dana White won't resign as UFC president after slapping his wife

White issued an apology last week in an interview with TMZ after footage emerged showing him and spouse Anne slapping each other in the face in a Mexican nightclub on New Year’s Eve.

Speaking at a media event ahead of UFC Vegas 67 this weekend, White feels the damage to his reputation is the biggest punishment he could receive amid calls for him to resign or be sacked as UFC chief.
