10 UFC Fights That Happened Outside Of The Octagon
7. Fabricio Werdum Vs Colby Covington (On The Street)
When you are three weight classes lighter than another human being, it's probably wise not to provoke the heavier man/woman. To label Brazilians as 'filthy' in the vicinity of Fabricio Werdum - a man of Brazilian heritage who is not exactly known for pre-meditating his actions - is downright insane.
Colby Covington seems to enjoy p*ssing off nations, antagonising the Irish with his comments about burying Cathal Pedred 'like the British buried the Irish'.
Covington claims that Werdum came out of nowhere and threatened to kill him. Covington then apparently kicked Werdum in retaliation to having his phone slapped out of his hands. After Covington had continually screamed 'F*ck Brazil', Werdum snapped and threw the only thing he had to hand - a boomerang.
You read that right.
A fan had given Werdum the weapon/totem as a gift a few minutes earlier and the Brazilian even confessed that if it'd been 'a burger or cake in my hands, I'd thrown that for sure, but I had a boomerang'. Bad timing, huh.
Werdum would be fined $600 for the incident; nevertheless the UFC fans of the world thank him for a truly bonkers exchange.
