Oscar De La Hoya Thinks Dana White Should Face Criminal Charges For Slapping His Wife

Dana White has a reputation for being a divisive figure in the world of mixed martial arts, largely due to his handling of fighter pay and other issues. However, he has recently come under scrutiny for an alleged incident where he physically assaulted his wife on New Year’s Eve. This event has raised concerns among fans and the public.

As previously reported, Dana White and his wife slapped each other on New Year’s Eve, something that no one at the Cabo San Lucas nightclub expected. People simply did not get just how serious this incident would turn out and how badly it would end up affecting Dana White in the long run.

To the shock of absolutely no one, TBS ended up pulling Dana White’s Power Slap show. Dana White then explained that this was due to the fact that he had to cancel a media tour.

While speaking on Ariel Helwani’s The MMA Hour, Oscar De La Hoya talked about Dana White slapping his wife. La Hoya made it clear that he believes White should face criminal charges for slapping his wife.

“I was very surprised. There’s a lot of powerful people behind the UFC and there’s a lot of money behind the organization. What he did was obviously wrong, you don’t hit women. I mean come on, you don’t. It’s a douche move, you don’t do that. The powers to be swept it under the rug, I’m not going to get involved. Everybody knows he’s a douche… Maybe criminal charges will happen? Who knows?”

Mexican laws also might prevent the full details of Dana White’s slapping incident from being released for public knowledge. Dana White has also not been punished for the slapping incident. It remains to be seen what will become of Dana White in the end.
