UFC’s President, Dana White, has recently been in the public eye. Recently, White was publicly involved in a bar fight with his wife. The infamous video went viral on New Year’s Day. The video has received severe backlash on social media for the indecent behavior showcased by the couple. Many fans think that the UFC President should have reacted differently.

However, this matter caught fire further after Dana White received no punishment for the entire ‘bar-fight’ saga. The fans fail to wrap their head around how such a massive issue could be brushed under the carpet. Recently, a former American soccer legend also shared his frustrations over the same on his social media.

How did everyone react to White facing ‘NO’ punishment?

While the entire world was celebrating New Year’s at the stroke of dawn, the celebrity couple didn’t know they were cooking up the next controversy. However, Taylor Twellman has now decided to involve himself in the matter. The American soccer legend now works as a soccer presenter for Apple TV. Twellman also does not shy away from putting his views out there on many social matters.

A few days back, White revealed that he would be facing no punishment in this case. Twellman re-tweeted that same interview with a very strong-worded reply. Twellman said, “But why does he choose his “punishment”?! Any other commissioner is gone, any other athlete is punished beyond the label. Also @ufc fighters now have a leash for off the field trouble. What am I missing here?!”

Ultimately, Nijem was suspended for nine months. Other UFC fighters like Al Iaquinta also shared their frustration over the same. Several fans are not happy with the way this controversy has ended. The fans feel that Dana White needs to be held accountable.

What did Dana White say about the incident?

Dana White and his wife have now been married for over two decades. The celebrity couple has never been involved in a similar case before. Dana White told the media that their three children were their top priority, while still trying to grasp the facts of the situation. He also mentioned that there would never be an excuse for a guy to raise his hand on a woman.

In relation to the punishment for the altercation, White told ESPN, “Here’s my punishment: I have to walk around for however long I live — and this is how I’m labeled now. My other punishment is that I’m sure a lot of people — whether it be media, fighters, friends, acquaintances — who had respect for me might not have respect for me now”.

White seemed to be mainly concerned about his reputation and relationships. No one will ever forget this infamous video so easily. While White may not publicly face the consequences, his reputation would have seriously sustained a major dent.
