UFC president Dana White outlines "punishment" for slapping his wife on New Year's Eve

Dana White has revealed his only 'punishment' for slapping his wife on New Year's Eve will be having to live with himself.

White, 53, was in Mexico with his wife Anne to celebrate the New Year but things turned ugly between the couple when they started arguing. Anne could be seen slapping White before he slapped her back twice, with the UFC president later condemning his actions and admitting there was no excuse for what he did.

Critics have since called for White to be punished for the incident, with the California Legislative Women’s Caucus even demanding he should be removed as UFC president. Addressing his punishment, White told reporters: "What should the repercussions be? You tell me. I take 30 days off? How does that hurt me? Do I need to reflect? No, I don’t need to reflect. I’ve been against this. I’ve owned this. I’m telling you that I’m wrong."
