We heard from UFC president Dana White for the second time since he slapped his wife on New Year’s Eve, as he fielded questions from reporters Wednesday and all but confirmed that there will be no punishment – neither from UFC parent company Endeavor nor self-imposed – for his despicable actions. By this point, you must’ve seen the video of the incident released by TMZ : White and his wife, Anne, in an apparent argument, Anne looking distraught, White grabs her by the wrist, she slaps him in the face, he retaliates by slapping her in the face twice and then pushing her down to the ground. It’s appalling, although a lot of folks on social media, including fighters , and in comments sections have defended White by saying she deserved it because she hit him first (completely ignoring that he put his hands on her first), despite White himself not defending his actions. This brings us to UFC broadcast partner ESPN, whose coverage of the situation has been remarkably lean. A story like this, where a top sports executive is caught on video committing an act of domestic violence?
