Speaking with his brother Daniel O’Malley at the bro malley podcastthe 28-year-old jokingly referenced the domestic violence incident between the couple.

“I feel bad for Dana,” O’Malley said. His wife slapped him. That’s rude. And she deserves a pat on the back. I dont know. I dont know. It’s complicated. I don’t know, she treats people the way you want to be treated.

O’Malley, who scored a signature victory earlier this year when he defeated former UFC champion Petr Yan in a contest that received Fight of the Night honors, went on to explain that he believes the incident would not have occurred if it had not been for alcohol. been involved.

White apologized after the incident, insisting that he had “no excuse” for what had happened.

O’Malley quipped that White’s wife “should have kept her hand up” during the incident.

Sober, would he ever have done that? No,’ said O’Malley. “I guess sober, no drinks, she slaps him, I don’t think her initial reaction is to slap him back.” When that alcohol runs, I have never hit Dani [Gonzalez, his wife]. I have never hit a girl. But I’ve blacked out and done things I can’t believe she did.

‘I don’t think it was right. I don’t think you obviously shouldn’t hit, especially a little girl like that, but the alcohol flows, she hit him first, it was a good counter, she should have kept her hands up, you know what I mean?

A small movement of the head. If you’re going to slap, you have to be ready to slap. You have to continue with that combo. I should have hit him with a 1-2, not just a 2, thrown, dodge, but no, it’s not right. They will lose a lot of business.

Meanwhile, fellow UFC fighter Dustin Poirier condemned his boss’s actions, stating: “You should never put your hands on a woman.”
