Colby Covington intends to press charges against Fabricio Werdum for an alleged assault that occurred near the UFC fighter hotel in Sydney, according to multiple outlets.
Initial video footage showed an ugly verbal confrontation between the two UFC fighters in which Covington uses a homophobic slur while directing an expletive laden tirade at Werdum. Covington, who was filming the incident, turns the camera toward himself and says, “F—ck Brazil. They’re a bunch of filthy animals.”
Later, UFC fighter Dan Hooker posted a short video clip of Werdum throwing what looks to be a boomerang at Covington.
