Dustin Poirier has become the first high-profile UFC star to condemn his boss Dana White after video emerged of the promotional president slapping his wife.
White, 53, has apologised for the incident, which took place at a nightclub in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on New Year's Eve. The altercation was caught on video and later released to TMZ. Footage shows Mrs. White covering her face before her husband takes hold of her wrists. Mrs. White responds by slapping her other half before he reacts in the same way.
And Poirier, who has been married to his wife Jolie since 2009, has spoken out against White, claiming that it was "not a good look". He hasn't taken a particularly hard stance, but goes against the opinions that have been expressed by other fighters such as Jamahal Hill and Sean O'Malley who have commented in White's defence.
