Dana White on Israel Adesanya’s DUI Charge: ‘Hopefully That’s a One-and-Done for Him’

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Israel Adesanya lost his middleweight title to Sean Strickland in a massive upset in the main event at UFC 293 earlier this month.“The Last Stylebender” subsequently pleaded guilty to a charge of drunk driving from an incident dating back to Aug. 19.

The former middleweight champ was returning home with friends after dinner when they encountered a “Random Breath Testing Unit.” Adesanya was 37 milligrams over the legal limit of 50 milligrams and has issued an apology for his misconduct.

Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White was recently asked to weigh in on Adesanya’s DUI charge and whether it had any role to play in his title loss. White summed it up crisply calling it a “bad decision” while also advising people to use cabs or drivers when drunk, especially if they can afford it easily.

“Bad decisions, man. No matter how many drinks you’ve had – if you drink, don’t drive,” White said at the Contender Series post-fight press conference on Tuesday night. “Especially, it’s one thing, Ubering is easy, but when you have that kind of money that kid has, get a driver. Have somebody drive you or Uber or whatever. He made a bad decision. Thank God nobody was hurt. Him or nobody else. You know what I say about mistakes: How do you handle them after you make them? Hopefully, that’s a one-and-done for him, and he never does it again.”

Dana White is having PTSD from all those Jon Jones DUIs he had to deal with

 

[snaportap21]

This is a cake walk to deal with for Dana. After Jones, Dana didn’t even flinch hearing this.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Pink Goof doesn't give a shit about any of that, as long as the fighter is making him bank.

As said above, Juicehead has been involved in more than one, including a fucking hit and run.

Is Dana's drunk domestic abuse a one-and-done?

One and done in front of the camera

Is Dana's drunk domestic abuse a one-and-done?

Doubtful. Not sure how somebody would have the confidence to slap his wife in public before having it done multiple times in private first.

I wonder how many times she's slapped him as well behind closed doors....

Neither did Dana's wife when he slapped her in the club.

That was a 1:2 combo

Research the laws of Australia. They have a very low limit. Having one drink puts you over pretty much. Not a big deal

C'mon... only if you're a P-plater

 

[WhiteMousse]

I thought the incident occurred before the Strickland fight. Was it before or after? Not the plea, the incident itself.

Good. Because the worst thing that can happen is that you take someone else's life, which is plenty to understand why their limit is so low. It is a big deal drinking and driving. I lost a friend from that.

Can't even afford a Uber, with his PPV points... UFCheap.

Incident happened before the fight, plea was after.

Yep, no big deal.... until you kill some kid that just graduated and has their whole life ahead of them because you are a drunken pos...
