Colby Covington and Werdum fight

This incident happened in the year 2017, and the entire scene was recorded by the UFC fighter Dan Hooker. This took place a few days before Werdum had a match in Sydney. The video that went viral clearly showed that Covington and Werdum started a verbal fight, which ended up Werdum throwing the boomerang given to him by one of his fans at Covington. This ended in hurting ‘The Chaos’ on his neck.

Post this incident, Werdum was charged an amount of 600 dollars as a fine for common assault by New South Wales Police Force. Post this incident Covington went to the police as he started getting threat calls from heated Brazilian fans and coaches.

Dana White with his two cents

In the end, none were seriously injured, and Dana White said in one of his interviews– “Believe me, I get it, I get it that Colby disrespected Brazil and all the Brazilian people. I know how Brazilians get about that stuff. You just can’t go around assaulting people, you know? You just can’t do it. It’s bad.”
