UFC to Review Colby Covington’s Brazilian Insults After UFC Fight Night 119 Win

The UFC’s Code of Conduct Committee will review Colby Convington’s insults of Brazil in his post-win comments at UFC Fight Night 119. UFC SVP David Shaw said after the event (via MMAjunkie) that Covington’s comments, where he called Brazil a “dump” and its citizens “filthy animals,” is going to be looked at.

Shaw said that while the company doesn’t support the fact that fans threw things at Covington, the fighter’s comments are “already being reviewed by our Code of Conduct Committee. And it’s something we’re not very happy about.”

He added, “We’ve got to go back and look at it. It’s just not something we’re proud of. Our investment and our support of Brazilian fans, Brazilian athletes and the Brazilian market is steadfast and will continue. And I think in our opinion it’s just something that is uncalled for and inappropriate.”
