Dana White is facing calls to step down from his role as president of the UFC after a 2014 interview resurfaced in which he claimed you can ‘never bounce back from putting your hands on a woman’.<\/p>\n

White apologized Tuesday after a video emerged of him publicly slapping his wife in the face during an argument on New Year’s Eve. <\/p>\n

The 53-year-old White has been married to his wife Anne since 1996. The couple has had three children together over the last 26 years as his net worth ballooned to a reported $500 million with the development of the UFC, the world’s most popular mixed martial arts promotion. <\/p>\n

But his position at the top of the UFC may be on the line now after a 2014 interview surfaced, in which he reacted to a video of former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice abusing his wife.<\/p>\n

UFC chief Dana White has apologized for slapping his wife in the face on New Year’s Eve<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Speaking to FOX Sports Live at the time, White said: ‘It’s a tough one. First of all the video is horrifying. Absolutely horrifying. You’re talking about a guy who’s been in the fight business since he was 19 years old. It is the most disturbing thing you will ever see. <\/p>\n

‘The thing that’s just as bad as the punch is that he shows no remorse after he does it. You know, if you did something in anger and you go, ‘Oh my god. What did I do?’ There’s none of that with this guy. I don’t know all the ins and outs of what Roger Goodell did or knew or how it was handled but it’s definitely bad. I can tell you this: I wouldn’t want to be Roger Goodell.<\/p>\n

‘We’ve been human beings in letting these guys, other guys make up for what they’ve done and come back. There’s one thing that you never bounce back from and that’s putting your hands on a woman. Been that way in the UFC since we started here. You don’t bounce back from putting your hands on a woman.’<\/p>\n

White and his wife were celebrating New Year’s Eve at El Squid Roe in Cabo San Lucas, where the clip was filmed. The footage shows White appearing to say something to Anne, who reacts by slapping him. He then slaps her back before the pair are split up. <\/p>\n
