Colby Covington and Fabricio Werdum had an infamous dust up in Sydney, Australia in 2017. 'Chaos' was in the final fight of his UFC contract when he faced Demian Maia at UFC Fight Night 119 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
After beating the submission artist via unanimous decision, Covington ranted at the Brazilian fans and called them "filthy animals." Covington's remarks did not sit well with former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum. When the two crossed paths outside the UFC fighter hotel in Sydney on Nov. 16, 2017, 'Vai Cavalo' confronted Covington. While both fighters seemed to be engaged in a verbal back-and-forth, it was the Brazilian who kept coming forward. Werdum then pulled a boomerang out and threw it at Covington, hitting the welterweight in the face.
The infamous interview which angered many Brazillians around the world, including Werdum
Colby has also been involved in many other incidents, such as when Jorge Masvidal running up to him at a steakhouse in Miami beach and sucker punching him. I feel if Colby keeps this "act" up, he will have more incidents like this, angry fighters or even civilians assaulting him in public
