During an argument at a UFC event in Sydney, Australia last night(the host of UFC Fight Night 121), Fabricio Werdum threw a boomerang at Colby Covington. Covington filmed part of the incident for Instagram and claimed that Werdum hit him in the face.

Covington said: “F*ck Brazil. F*ck Fabricio Werdum, little bitch ass. F*ck Brazil. A bunch of filthy animals. And they wonder why they get talked to like that, because they’re a bunch of animals.

Werdum later explained himself to Brazil’s UofL (via MMA Fighting). He said: ““This guy is really cocky. I went down with my master (Rafael Cordeiro) to get a haircut and shave my beard. We were at the lobby, and I’ve never seen this guy before. When I walked past him, he looked at me and said ‘filthy Brazilians’. I looked at him and said ‘hey.’ I hit his phone and asked ‘what did you say?’ He kicked my leg, but I managed to defend it, so the guys got in the middle and nothing else happened. But he kicked me, he’s insolent. He could have hurt me. If I really had (punched) him in the face he would be in the hospital. For sure. There was no punch. He’s delusional. I don’t know why he insists in talking about Brazilians. I don’t get it. He wants media, wants to copy Conor McGregor. He looks ridiculous the way he does it. I couldn’t believe when he said that. I hit his phone and he took a step back and kicked me. We started to argue and he continue to scream that Brazilians were animals.

Covington added: “He f*cked up. There’s video and I speak the truth. He will be exposed soon, probably end up in Australia prison.

Werdum is currently set to fight Marcin Tybura in the main event of Saturday’s show. The UFC said in an official statement: “UFC was made aware of the altercation between Fabricio Werdum and Colby Covington at the organization’s host hotel in Sydney, Australia. The organization will conduct a full investigation to determine if the Athlete Conduct Policy was violated before taking any further action on this matter.

Meanwhile, Jon Jones, who was recently the target of Covington, praised Werdum for his actions on Twitter:
