Fabricio Werdum won't face disciplinary action for kicking Travis Browne's head coach at UFC 203

After taking out Travis Browne for the second time at UFC 203 last night (Sat., Sept. 10, 2016) in Cleveland, Ohio (see it again here), Fabricio Werdum almost set off a riot inside the Octagon after he kicked Edmond Tarverdyan -- Browne's head coach -- in the midsection.

Thankfully, both camps intervened and held both Fabricio and Edmond back to prevent the incident from escalating further. So what exactly set it off?

According to Werdum's comments during the post-fight presser (video replay here), it was due to the fact that Edmond threw a couple of not-so nice words his way as a way to disapprove of his mocking the Cleveland crowd.
