Colby Covington aims Twitter taunt at Fabricio Werdum after UFC London knockout

There was zero chance that Colby Covington was going to keep quiet about Fabricio Werdum’s knockout loss.

“Vai Cavalo” found himself on the wrong end of an ugly KO in the main event of UFC London on Saturday, getting dropped by a stiff uppercut from opponent Alexander Volkov, who followed up with a pair of punches that left Werdum out cold on the mat.

The former UFC champion butted heads with Covington in Sydney last November, a conflict that stemmed from Covington publicly insulting Werdum’s home country of Brazil on multiple occasions, which resulted in Werdum hurling a boomerang at him and Covington later saying that he would press charges.
