I've a mother, a wife, and a daughter. I wasn't 'raised' per-se to not hit women, I guess it was understood or ingrained. I learned how to be a man from my fathers example. I believe when my daughter is old enough to marry a man that she will find one who treats her like I treat her mother.

These two people were probably already broken and just continuing the cycle and examples their parents modeled for them.

I'm so grateful the women in my family was raised to know if you put your hands on ANY humen, expect to get worse treatment. No one is entitled to give you the same or "fair" treatment.

White is a flawed person like everyone else. I’m a huge fan of the ufc. I wish that organization took better care of their fighters (athletes). In the nfl, mlb, and nba, the athletes get close to 50% of the revenue their tv deals bring in. The ufc roster gets paid absolute peanuts and usually the people fighting have to take on multiple jobs to support their trainers and coaches and families.

I’d respect Dana a lot more as a person if he paid the fighters better

i don't think this is true in many respects.

If that were the case, then only women who were victims of domestic child abuse would become victims of domestic abuse in their adult relationships. But statistics show that is very far from the case. I hope to God that your daughter never becomes a victim of domestic violence (also called intimate partner violence, btw), but there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that you do can to prevent it, despite what you think. It is absolutely insidious and the victim does not realize it is happening until it is too late.

All you can do is educate yourself so that if she ever does get end up in this type of situation, you will recognize the signs. So I implore you to take my posts seriously and not disregard them like you know better. Because believe me, you are so wrong in your assumptions it's scary for someone with a daughter.

And if you don't want to take me seriously, here are some more resources:

www.thehotline.org

National Domestic Violence Hotline

24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the National Domestic Violence Hotline provides essential tools and support to help survivors of domestic violence so they can live their lives free of abuse.

Are you seriously asking if a woman who is a victim of domestic violence in her marriage is a good person?

I will give you the benefit of the doubt here and choose to believe that you mean well so that I can provide you some education. The phenomenon that you witnessed when Dana's wife hit him is a very common occurrence called reactive abuse.

"Reactive abuse occurs when someone who is experiencing ongoing abuse responds to their abuser with behaviors that may appear aggressive, confrontational, or harmful. These reactions are often preceded by prolonged verbal, emotional, psychological, or physical torment that leave the victim feeling cornered or powerless.

These reactions can then be used by the abuser to shift blame, distort the narrative, and paint the victim as the aggressor in an incredibly complicated form of gaslighting." (https://greenecountyfamilyjusticecenter.org/what-is-reactive-abuse/)

Reactive abuse makes it even more difficult for the victim to get the help that they need, and that is why an abuser such as Dana White loves to utilize this tactic in public so often.

However, when you see this happening, it is very important to remember that the victim is acting is self-defense - even if you witness them physically acting first.

"The victim’s response is an involuntary reaction caused by the cumulative trauma they have been experiencing over time and comes from a place of extreme frustration or self-defense.

Whether the abuse is physical, emotional, or sexual, it causes deep fear and stress and puts the victim on high alert.

When the victim senses danger, the brain releases stress hormones that help the body defend against the threat.

This is known as a “stress response” or “trauma response,” which is more commonly called a “fight, freeze, flight or fawn response.”

In other words, the victim’s natural response is for their body to prepare to freeze, flee, fight back, or appease their abuser, especially when they perceive a threat to their safety or freedom.

Recurring trauma has harmful effects on one’s mind and body." (https://themendproject.com/reactive-abuse/)

This phenomenon is also very common with children in domestic violence situations. They will become violent towards the parent(s) or caregiver(s) that are abusing them, and unfortunately the child gets labeled as a "bad" kid, which only makes the situation worse because the child internalizes that label.

One last thing...in case you are not aware, domestic abuse is not just physical. Types of abuse include physical, emotional, sexual, financial, stalking (both online and physical), reproductive coercion, and more. Most victims experience most or all from their abuser. The abuse is designed to break down the victim completely and make them 100% reliant on their abuser. So when people don't understand why the victim won't just leave, that is why. The abuser has made it pretty much impossible for the victim to leave, or to leave without severe consequences to them or to their loved ones.

Now, perhaps the wife is not a good person for other reasons. I do not know anything about the wife, her life, or what she has done to advance the good of society. But I know enough about domestic violence to know that this is not her fault, and she was a long-term victim of her husband and was trapped for a long time. Him being a rich, powerful man in the public eye certainly made it even more difficult. Thank God she finally got out, because it is not easy, and she has scars for sure. I do hope she is getting help to heal.

Edit: I guess they are still married. Oops. Well, I still hope she is healing and that she gets out some day.

How can you diagnose this from one video? Are there other videos of abuse or something, this is all i know of? You can't "educate " me when you dont know what the **** you're talking about, which it appears you don't

All you're doing is making assumptions which is worse than dealing with facts which is what im doing. She attacked him, he barely slapped (which is still very wrong) in response. She then attacked more. She was the aggresor in this situation and deserves MORE blame than him given we don't know the whole history of their marriage. You're actually being quite sexist which I frown upon.

Even his own statistics tell us there is a 1 in 6 chance SHE is the abuser in this relationship.

I’M being sexist? That’s…interesting. Talk about assumptions.

And I’m not making any assumptions at all. I happen to have a lot of experience in this particular subject. I was a Guardian Ad Litem in Miami Dade County.

Grow up.

Reads like weaponized therapy language about a situation you are not privvy to. You didnt even know they were still married. You have no idea what youre talking about at worst and being wildly unethical in your assumptions at best based on one video you saw a few years ago.
