      As a casual MMA fan, it's the reason some of us stay away from it. I like pro wrestling but Vince is a bastard of the highest order. I was sick of people pretending Dana wasn't as scummy because of the "legitimacy" of the sport. He always was a slimy business centric hypocrite and it's only til he hits his wife you all treat him with the proper disdaine? That's why the UFC is a joke.

      Holds what values? He doesn't have values and this video proves it. Pushes woke ideology and believes in it but when the shoe fits he pushes traditional values. You can't defend woke ideology and this "equality" in which women are just as strong as men and women can do anything a man can and there is no difference between the genders it's all a binary etc. And then say oh no men shouldn't defend themselves against women!
      These woke ideologies have real world consequences and people need to understand that!

How people talk about others, the lack of empathy they show for others, it says more about them than it does about you. When Dana said the comment about your kids Ariel, I thought nothing of it because it didn’t carry any weight on the type of person you are; but hearing you repeat those words back to him, after what he just did, it spoke volumes of what type of person he is. Keep up the great work Ariel, holding those in power accountable for their actions is what I admire most about you.

    Thank you so much for your comments on this. At first I was leaning towards a lot of grace for Dana White but then I watched the video multiple times and watched all of his interviews. No one is talking about the power/strength imbalance between him and his wife. He has trained in boxing and fighting, he is very muscular. His wife is petite and in her 50’s (women loose muscle at this age faster than men.) She should never have hit him but he HELD her to get the second hit in. If this is done in public, there is no way this hasn’t happened at home.

    Are you OK with Ariel Helwani asking Jon Jones to come on his show despite the domestic abuse police call made against him by his own children?

    Have to disagree with you Ariel, you making it seem ok for women to go around slapping men. Couples assaulting each other is just not cool, whomever threw the first blow, it is wrong on both sides.
