Dana White will be carrying the stain of his slapping his wife for a long, long time now. Because even if he tries to move on from that ordeal, people won’t let him. That’s how it works in today’s day and age. The ‘forgive and forget’ ideology isn’t put it place much in today’s time anyway, and if you’re a public figure, it’s just not an applicable scheme for you. This is the exact representation of the UFC president’s current scenario. Following the ‘slap’ controversy, the 53-year-old briefly refrained from making any public appearance or put out anything on his social media. However, he jumped back in relatively soon, for the sake of his #F**kItFriday ritual. And that may not have been a very wise decision by White, given the outburst he was subject to in response to his first post since the infamous incident with his wife.
In his very first social media post since the ‘slap’ incident took place, Dana White can be seen trying to put out another edition of his ‘F**k It Friday’. And it follows the same drill, where Dana White is trying out a food item that is not traditionally prepared and is bound to taste underwhelming.
