All Is Quiet Regarding Dana White
The next UFC Fight Night is this Saturday.
Power Slap debuts on Jan. 18 on TBS.
But there has been no word on whether anyone will speak regarding the altercation between Dana White and his wife that took place on New Year’s Eve. It is possible that Endeavor, ESPN, and Warner Bros. Discovery will all opt not issue a statement, which is a statement in itself. Yet it is inevitable that people are going to speak out on the topic.
With Fight Night on Saturday, fighters will be forced to field questions about White if everyone else remains quiet. That could open an entirely new set of problems. Perhaps White will speak with reporters before the fighters, avoiding the risk of placing the onus on those competing this weekend.
After speaking with multiple sources close to the situation, it appears that no suspension for White is imminent. Time will tell if anything changes this week.

Lee’s passing is heartbreaking. The cause of death was not revealed.
