Dana White is currently facing backlash after a video obtained by TMZ showed the UFC president striking his wife on New Year’s Even in a Cabo San Lucas nightclub.
White’s character has come into question yet again after the viral video showed the fight boss in the middle of an argument with his wife shortly before things got physical between the two. The incident added some additional context to an interview with June White, the UFC president’s mother who wrote a tell-all book titled Dana White, King of MMA. In the book, she refers to her son as a “vindictive tyrant,” but her most damaging comments came in an interview to promote her literary endeavor.
“I don’t want to take anything away from him for what he’s done with MMA in the UFC. I mean, Dana has a high school education and that’s it and I think it’s pretty amazing the things he’s been able to do with MMA and the UFC, but he’s not a good person,” June White said in a 2011 interview. “He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people. It’s terrible the way he speaks to women and treats women. That really bothers me because I don’t believe I ever brought him up to behave like that.”

June White Calls Her Son’s Marriage a Joke
June White called her son’s marriage a “joke” and cited multiple instances where he had allegedly slept with ring card girls.
“I have a hard time with Dana’s marriage I guess you could call it because I am a believer, if you’re married, you’re married and that’s it and if you don’t want to be and you want to be out with other people, then leave the person you’re with. Don’t make a joke of your marriage, but his marriage is a joke.
“Everyone knows that he puts Tiger Woods to shame, you know. He has plenty… The ring card girls sleep with him. There’s two of them I know for sure and I don’t remember if I ever knew her name. She was the first ring card girl and she used to do the Xyience commercials for them too, but I know he was sleeping with her.
“The former ring card girl Michelle, I know he took her out, did a lot of things for her. Helped her get into Playboy. She was trying to build a career and she wanted to go well beyond being a ring card girl for the UFC so Dana was with her at a number of functions and with friends. It was pretty obvious that they had a relationship for a while.”
Dana White Allegedly Slept With His Sister-In-Law in His Mother’s Home
According to his mother, Dana White had no qualms about keeping things in the family, claiming that he had slept with his sister-in-law in her own home. She also detailed domestic violence incidents between Dana and his wife, saying:
“He slept with his sister-in-law in my house which made me absolutely furious. I mean, he goes after any girl he wants and usually gets them so his wife is there constantly fighting. The honeymoon she gave him the worst black eye I’ve ever seen. He nearly lost his eye. I don’t know if that’s his way of handling it, but he’s gone overboard with handling it.
