Why Gordon Ryan slapped Andre Galvao

 

According to Ryan, Galvao instigated the altercation when he approached Ryan, swearing at him. Ryan feels his response — a slap caught on camera — was called for.

“[Galvao] started walking towards me and he was like, ‘why are you running away?’… I’m just assuming there’s gonna be a fist fight, so I was like alright, let me start the fist fight with a smack and see how he responds,” Ryan said.

Ryan said that Galvao was giving every signal he was ready for a fight, so the slap in return was perfectly appropriate.

“I feel that was an appropriate response,” he said. “It was just enough to send a message that you can’t just bully me around.”
