The 33-year-old was speaking in an interview after a win in the LPCS, when he said that if former teammate, Jo\u00e3o \u201cKILLDREAM\u201d Ferreira\u2019s girlfriend was his girlfriend, he would have hit her because of her behavior.

He admitted that his comments were inexcusable, and regrets the incident. He also explained that he is aware children may have been watching, and as a father himself, was ashamed of his remarks. \u201cLast Sunday I made some comments post-match that I would like to apologize for publicly,\u201d he said. \u201cI am not a violent person nor have I had any history of violence. In my 20 years of career, this has never happened before.\u201d As minhas sinceras desculpas! \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffb pic.twitter.com\/FZr5C5CNIN \u2014 Ricardo Pacheco (@foxgringoCS) January 28, 2020 \u201cWhat I said shouldn\u2019t be said,\u201d fox concluded, \u201cI know there are kids watching and I am also a father, so I want to set a good example.
