Dana White’s slap fight with her wife while they were welcoming the New Year in a club in Mexico won’t be punished.

White, 53, publicly apologized after a video of the incident came out showing him hitting her twice, and made no excuses for hitting her wife Anne twice but said there will be no repercussions in his role as UFC president.

White believes, though, that he will never forget that incident and that it will be something that will have to carry for the rest of his life.

“Here’s my punishment: I’ve got to walk around for however long I live -is it 10.4 years, or is it another 25 years-, and this is how I’m labeled now”, he said at UFC Vegas 67 media day.

“My other punishment is that, I’m sure a lot of people, whether it be media, fighters, friends, acquaintances, who had respect for me, might not have respect for me now”, he added.

“What should the repercussions be? You tell me. I take 30 days off? How does that hurt me?”, he replied.
