We spoke to Dana about the incident, and he admits he and Anne had been drinking heavily — but quickly adds that’s no excuse for him getting physical. He told us, “You’ve heard me say for years, ‘There’s never ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman,’ and now here I am on TMZ talking about it.”

TMZ trying to make excuses for Dana. Talking about they heard "there was a lot of alcohol"! Please TMZ is pitiful sometimes.
She slapped him first , she deserved too be slapped back , woman wanna play big boy games and act like a man get and what they deserve they don't seem too like it….
I hope you retired from public life my friend. It’s the best thing to do.
Lol can we jus admire at what point in the song they slap one another 😂😂😂😂🤦♂️
Equal rights for equal lefts. F her. She stole on him first.
She attempted to walk away before smacking him and he continued to hold on to her while she was walking away to get away from the situation. He didn't really let go till towards the end.
She shouldn't have put hands on Dana first.
RESPECT goes both ways.
Frajer
Shame on you TMZ
It’s 2023 she hit him, I’m not tryna hear this anymore or poor wife
I saw a 250 pound guy got slapped. Than he slapped back. Well when you do it on public well than i think for myself what you do private? Kids will be proud of their fahter!
She should keep her hands to herself
I'm proud of your performance Dana. As a man I know exactly the twisted shit women can do to a man. They emotionally abuse men and push our buttons to the limits. You just released the pressure. All good 👍🙂
Law suit, get $millions and find a younger bloke. Dana can always depend on Conor I suppose.
… Dana … Lol … How "YEW" think Jon Jones feel bout it?
Where are the feminist screaming for equality now? Oh wait, they only scream it when it benefits them…i forgot.
Western hypocrisy. They talk about equal rights and yet a woman can hit a man, and a man should just stand there and get the beating. This is not EQUALITY.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Equality she hit first, then hit Equally
Dave vs. wife at UFC 283!
Not even the richest people have a peace of mind, this world is amazing.
How dare you give Dana such a soft ball interview. There's a reason I haven't watched TMZ in years, you're in bed with the so called elite that you cover. Shame on you Harvey.
Dana delahoya
That’s the problem with a lot of woman now days thinking they can put their hands on men and not get the same thing back
Dana White the OG of the fight game! 👊👊👊
TMZ is in Dana’s pockets wat a fluff piece
Let's go Dana don't worry about these nerds
Women want equality but I don't see anyone condemning the wife for her actions. Is that acceptable. They should both be getting the same exact treatment
Lol self defense empieza en La casa.
Fight of the night
This is what we are seeing. Imagine what happens behind closed doors
Yeah there is a excuse she hit me first WTF and I'm glad the world seen it because if they get a divorce she can't pull a Amber Heard and say the abuse was one way
She would be replaced with a younger woman
Fire that abuser! He raped her once too. He should step down.
But the wife hit first…
None of this sounds like he's apologetic.
Dana white '' leave it to the judges"
It’s one thing to hear about Dana hitting his wife and whole other deal when watching this.
Not once but twice. You put your hand on the mother of your adults not kids.
I for the longest time only watch the ufc because of Dana. Now he will be the reason o never go to a live enemy. Keep in mind. I’ve travelled to every event but three in Canada. But every PPV. Them days are gone. YouTube highlights will be the new normal for me
Uhhh yea there is…. It’s called self defense, her bitch ass hit him first, equality remember…. Well here you go
If women want to act like men receive them as men! Good job dana i would do the same
he didn't just smack her, he went after her for more
She slapped him first that’s her fault tho
Dana white no.1 contender for power slap championship.
Alcohol takes the wheel from your rationality and passes it to your emotions. When she hit him as a man being disrespected especially publicly hes going to get angry, now hes angry and intoxicated he isnt going to think about principles, law and reason but about how hes going to retaliate. Stop drinking folks
A real man taking responsibility
