This week, a video published by TMZ showed White getting into an altercation with his wife, Anne, at a New Year’s Eve party in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. In the video, it appears the two are arguing before Anne White slaps Dana White. He then slaps her.<\/p>\n
Endeavor and the UFC didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n
White issued a public apology Monday, according to media reports. Anne White also issued a separate statement to TMZ, calling it isolated incident.<\/p>\n
White is synonymous with UFC, having served as its president since 2001.<\/p>\n
In 2014, White spoke out about domestic violence after Ray Rice of the NFL assaulted his fiance, saying you “don’t bounce back from putting your hands on a woman,” according to media reports. “Been that way in the UFC since we started here.”<\/p>\n
Following the comments, White also revealed the UFC screens people for domestic violence.<\/p>\n
Hollywood powerhouse Endeavor began as a talent agency and was co-founded by one of the industry’s most recognizable agents, Ari Emanuel. Endeavor has bulked up over the years through a series of acquisitions, owning and managing live events like the Miami Open and the Miss Universe international beauty pageant.<\/p>\n
Endeavor acquired a controlling interest in the UFC, a popular mixed martial arts league, in 2016. It took full ownership of UFC in 2021, the year Endeavor had its initial public offering, according to a securities filing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
