“Last Friday, I dropped my daughter off at school and was heading home on my skateboard. While still in front of the school, I saw a white car stop and started filming. It was Antonio. He got out of the car and punched me. The car drove off on its own and he ran into the car. The police were called. There were several witnesses and Antonio was arrested for assault,” Wesley told the outlet.

The case gained even more attention due to the troubled history of the divorce between Mackenzie dern and Wesley Santos. Custody of the former couple's daughter is shared between them, and the fighter was ordered to pay a monthly alimony of US$4 (around R$22,3) to her ex-husband.
Trócoli's aggression comes at a delicate time for the fighter. He is scheduled to face tresean gore on November 9, but the incident could have consequences for his career. Mackenzie dern, in turn, comes from a victory over Lupita Godinez and has a fight scheduled against Amanda ribas in December. The strawweight fighter (up to 52,1 kg) did not comment on the incident.
