Very informed take.
You realize grabbing someone is also assault before any slaps occurred, right? And grabbing them to stop them from leaving your presence is false imprisonment if you don't let them go?
Let's hope for your sake and that of others you learn this on a karate forum discussion and not real life.

rewatch the video if you think he was preventing her from leaving you're being disingenuous.
 
Dana assaulted her first when he squeezed his wife's wrist with his TRT and steroid infused strength which prevented her from walking away and it was proberly hurting her very much

It left her with no choice but to lash out with a slap for Dana to let her go but instead Dana doubled down on the assault with 2 slaps almost dropping her

Dana started the assault when he wouldn't let her go of her wrist
Had he just walked away instead of assaulting her, he wouldn't be in this situation
 
does anything you said change the fact that he retaliated to an assault? absolutely not.
The facts are he should not have retaliated like he did to a weak ass smack. He knows he shouldn't have so the people trying to justify it are weak.

I said it's textbook assault to grab at someone. I then provided context for what false imprisonment would have been.
You are legitimately unwell in the head if you pretend he didn't grab at her and that she wasn't turning to move past him.
 
Honestly, I can't believe this is being made such a big deal. Was he arrested? Did she press charges? Did she get a protective order? Did she hit him first? There are so many mitigating factors. There are levels to this. It's like people are trying to compare it to someone being arrested for domestic violence with injuries to where the victim is actually in fear. It just seems like they are irresponsible drunks.
 
She’ll take millions she Descartes for building the ufc then never build anything the rest of her life.
His mother was probably pissed because she felt she was entitled to more of his money than what he was giving her (very typical Boston attitude). That's why she went public about his sham marriage, his infidelities, the whole nine yards. I have a fair amount in common with Dana in terms of being Irish (I'm not 100% Irish, but my dad is an Irish citizen and my grandmother was born in Ireland) and from Boston and I know a lot of people like him and his family. I partially grew up in the same suburb of Boston where Dana's mom grew up and where her family was from (Dana didn't grow up there, though). She's pissed because he's no longer a practicing Catholic. BOTH of my parents were raised Catholic but I wasn't. My dad made a lot of money but his atheism rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, similar to Dana's atheism and also people get jealous when you make more money than them. I've experienced this myself and so have many of my relatives.

MMA media may not bring up the issue as they are scared of Dana but mainstream media is going to ask questions and WME & Disney will have to answer those questions

It is strange how WME hasn't even released a statement about this yet though
 
nothing you said changes the fact that he was retaliating to an assault. technically he's the victim here.
technically they are both victims here since they hit each other. both have a claim to an assault charge. but likely that wont happen as they seem to want to reconcile and keep their family together.

that's almost fair, i suppose

Exactly.
The levels are non piece of shit people who don't run public sports having normal lives where they don't grab their sobbing wives in public and then slap them.

It really speaks to the caliber of human here that people think this is normal behavior or that because it isn't as brutal as an MMA fight that it's acceptable for someone like Dana.

he didn't grab her. he didn't even get the chance to clasp his had around her wrist fully. he touches her wrist, with no pull or restraining motion. quit being disingenuous.
 
Most grown ass men understand and accept this. Its clear as day that these boards gather a bunch of incels and men with deep insecurities who have a hard time dealing with it

No, it's actually clear that you think of men and women as not equal. If the same does not apply to both of them. But if it (thinking of all of us as incels) helps you sleep at night, you do that.

lolol going a little overbiard with it I think. He isn't a super villain

Who is saying that it's acceptable and normal behavior? What does it have to do with him being President of the UFC? As far as I know, and I admittedly haven't really researched it, he wasn't arrested, his wife didn't press charges, he is still with his wife, she isn't claiming being a victim, etc. Prior to cancel culture, I'd say this definitely wouldn't be an offense that should affect his position. Who knows nowadays though. I'm sure there are loads of people in high positions that could be caught on camera doing things outside of "normal and acceptable behavior".
 
I’ll keep saying this, you’re a piece of shit if you think it’s okay to hit or smack a woman because she hits/smacks you and you’re a fucking retarded piece of shit if you do it in public.
Amazing. You actually think it's okay for women to abuse men.
 
How did he assault her first???? He held her arm when she turned away. She slapped him. You think that's worthy of getting hit? What if a girl grabbed her partner's arm when they were talking and he just slaps her in the face?
How you think he assaulted her first is beyond me.
Grabbing someone and preventing them from leaving actually is an assault. I don't think anyone should get hit, I don't think Dana should have responded by hitting her multiple times until she was knocked to the floor either (and continuing after she hit the ground). They were both in the wrong, but Dana was WAY MORE in the wrong. Dana was bullying her from the beginning holding her when she was trying to diffuse the situation by leaving, then really smacks the shit out of her when she gave him one little smack. It cracks me up the way people will justify Dana doing just about anything to her because of that one little slap she gave him. People are really anxious to either blame her or equate what the two of them did, which is laughable, because it is far from equal.

yeah what does it have to do with him being the president of the UFC?
Jesus christ lmao.
 
"not comparing this to Dana, but let me bring up a totally unrelated scenario in this thread and discuss my fantasy about retributive violence and beating a woman for non defensive purposes"

Dana literally put his hands on his wife first and grabbed her arm lmao. You're like the 1000th dude who seems to completely ignore that part of the video and instead go on some weird rant about hypothetical tangent scenarios where you want to hit a woman, which is better suited for a therapist than being related to a famous steroidal freak CEO figure strong arming his sobbing wife in a nightclub.

On the positive side. Baka Survivor is a legendary jam.
He literally tapped her arm trying to talk to her when she turned away.
She them smacked him.

So if a woman tried to touch her partner's arm when he's turning away, can he just smack her in the face?
