It is time to consider a UFC without Dana White (The Guardian)

Dana White's decision to physically assault his wife raises questions about whether the UFC president is fit to continue running the world's largest mixed ...

“I saw some footage of slap fighting on social media and I was instantly hooked,” White said in a UFC press release announcing the slap-fighting league. White’s physical altercation with his wife is merely the latest in a long line of domestic violence cases that have marred the UFC and the sport as a whole.
