Throwback: When Dana White's mother accused him of cheating on his wife with ring girls
Dana White's mother, June White, wrote a tell-all unauthorized biography of the UFC president in 2011, which included his childhood and how he changed post-success.
Titled Dana White, King of MMA, the book delved into how he was once a loving friend and a caring son who turned into an "egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, and cruel" vindictive tyrant who did not care about others' feelings.
In an interview a few years later, June White further spoke on her son's marriage life. She accused him of cheating on his wife, Anne White, with multiple ring girls as well as his sister-in-law.
"His marriage is a joke. Everyone knows he puts Tiger Woods to shame. He has plenty of the ring card girls sleep with him... He slept with his sister-in-law in my house which made me absolutely furious. He goes after any girl he wants and usually gets them. They are [White and his wife] constantly fighting. In their honeymoon, she gave him the worst black eye I've ever seen."
June briefly referred to two particular ring girls with whom White had affairs while being married to Anne.

Fans were quick enough to get wind of the matter and troll him mercilessly on social media. White appeared in a TMZ interview today and took full responsibility for his actions:
"You've heard me say for years, there's never, ever, an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman, and now here I am on TMZ talking about it... This is one of those situations that's horrible. I'm embarrassed... People are going to have opinions on this, and most of the people's opinions will be right, especially in my case. You don't put your hands on a woman, ever."
White also added that they have apologized to each other and have spoken to their children about it.
