During day two of the “14 NeuLion Sports Media & Technology Conference,” UFC President Dana White explained why the Ray Rice domestic violence situation is turning out to be a positive thing.
White spoke about the UFC’s approach to domestic violence, noting that the company has “beefed up their policies” ever since the situation involving Ray Rice and the elevator video.
“We screen people for ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’ and if you’ve ever had a domestic violence, you can’t get on ‘The Ultimate Fighter,’” said White.
“Since this whole thing happened, we’re beefing up our policies with putting your hands on a woman. … [The] Ray Rice thing, as horrible as it was, is actually turning out to be a very positive thing because a lot of these leagues are really looking into this and trying to make a difference.”
