When people report this story they forget to mention that she slapped him first very hard. He responded with a pretty light smack. It was obvious that he held back big time on the return slap trying not to really hurt her. People can say what they want but it's very hard to know how you'll respond right after someone smacks you very hard in the face. You are startled and immediate reaction is probably to respond.

[@nelsa4544]

What I don’t understand is, men are taught to never hit a woman first. And to just never hit a woman, period. But how is the same not said about woman. Why are they excused to lose control but a man isn’t. They’re adults too. Even Dana’s mother said his wife punched him a black eye during their honeymoon. Of course this is why women get delusional. They can hit you all they want. But the moment a man hits you. You get lynched by the world.

Bro the way he owned and apologized is a lesson for you younger kids out there. When you make a mistake, you own up to it. Admit it, apologize and learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes all the way up until the day they die. When you sit in front of people and own up to your mistakes like this it prevents people from throwing stones because they understand they've been in a similar situation one way or the other.

[@alanbialeck948]

I believe you're comment is the most practical and accurate. Once this occurs the only thing you can do is never let it occur again and apologize for your actions. He has apologized although he could use the word domestic violence and or abuse he says this kind of thing happens but he just can't get himself to say those other words. Nonetheless it was retaliatory and actually in this kind of situation even in the United States they probably wouldn't charge him because he reacted to getting hit. He didn't need to slap her twice though and that is something he should react to as a public figure especially of a fighting organization. Nonetheless there's nothing else he can do about it but never let it happen again. He has apologized and he doesn't need to continue doing that over and over again.

@@haleybourinot2765 you’d be surprised.

Prayer's, sometime's walking away from being slapped is hard to walk away. You acknowledge you have a issue, an your going punish yourself much harder. Hurt yourself you took responsibility for your actions. Hope you heel from this an move forward. Embarrassing as a man to get smacked by the one's you love an work so hard to protect. You are bringing awareness as a man that it isn't correct. He is completely correct once you cross that line. Hurtful to allow your morals of not ever slapping a woman to become broken.
