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.

Where are the repercussions for the woman in the situation? You all are looking to hammer Dana, but what about his wife? BOTH should be accountable. Fair is fair.

Especially when a woman hits on the grounds (or expectation) that she can just hit you and get away with it. Women are aware that they will be White Knighted by the likes of Ariel, so they use that as leverage to do whatever they want. She knew the consequences, and she got a fair warning via a slap in return.

Went to walk my dogs and as I was finishing my walk, the way this video ended it really spoke to me. 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.

I’m starting to think his go to move is to create drama with Dana White and other UFC related people like Brendan Schaub, Rampage, Diaz, Joe Rogan, Masvidal, Paddy Pimblett or whoever else. Not to mention talking about Dana’s kids, and throwing shade on his business, which is money, and you don’t mess with a man’s money.
Excellent excellent excellent fair & well- needed analysis!! 👏
Ariel with the mic drop at the end!!!! Absolutely BODIED this. Hats off to you sir.
Everyone involved - Paddy, Dana, Ariel - revealed themselves, and quickly. Well done, Ariel.
Aerial your the man hands down the best ufc reporter and rely professional about this situation
Keep doing your thing Ariel. That ending was the chef's kiss, too good.
And this right here is why Ariel had to walk away from his deal with ESPN. He knows in his heart that above money or anything else they can offer ESPN, he wanted freedom to do his job the way he knows is right. Well said my brother. Keep up the great work. The sporting world is better with you in it and you are just getting started!!!

Ariel what about Jon jones beating his wife into a bloody mess , then you appraise him when he’s on last week? What about that? Your just mad Dana black balled you over UFC 200 when you leaked Lesnar return!
I love how Ariel speaks his mind, defends himself, and does it all in a thoughtful manner. Respect. He wasn't like this before. Love to see it.

I agree with your take for the most part, but in all honesty, ALL adults should learn to keep their hands to themselves, and they should all understand that hitting another human being might result in you getting hit back. Men shouldn’t hit women and women should also sure as hell not hit their husbands. The double standard here does not make sense.

Ariel's advice to 'just walk away' if a woman keeps hitting you is unreasonable and if nothing else, allowing a woman to hit you without consequence sets a precedent that they can just do whatever they want. It isn't human nature to take away someone's ability to defend themselves. Yes, most women may not pose a physical thread to a man, but what if an Amanda Nunes (or an MMA-trained woman) is hitting me? should I walk away then? Ariel is a cuck Even if we were to entertain Ariel's advice of walking away, say she keeps on following you and hitting you, then what? A slap is a fair warning to stop (which she did first) and although the entire situation is ugly, she had it coming.
Judge: How do you defend yourself mr White? Dana: Against my wife? With more offense. Judge: I meant here in a court room regarding slapping your wife. Dana: We're from Stockton so this is the family thing

The only reason there haven't been more Dana scandals, is most people with dirt on him are probably still reliant on him financially. If female fighters, ring girls, ESPN employees, etc talk about his behavior they lose their jobs. Dana 100% gets "MeToo'ed" at some point after retiring by a group of women who come forward about him trading opportunity for sex.

You nailed it, bro. Bravo! No one is allowed to talk to Dana White like this, and that's the problem. He's the king of the UFC. Kings feel no sense of accountability to anyone. To them, it's their world and you should just be happy if they allow you to exist in it. Go against them, and they crush you. Period.
Your kids and every other kid in the world are going to respect you so much for the way you stand up to the bullies! You are a shining example of what you're supposed to do to a bully!
