Understand the case:
Colby covington became persona non grata in Brazilian MMA after swearing at the country, the fans and the fighters during his stay in UFC Sao Paulo. After winning Demian Maia at the October event, the American left the octagon amid boos, insults and glasses of beer in his direction. Then, the welterweight said that, in Brazil, there were only “filthy animals”, causing the anger of many athletes, including Fabricio Werdum.
The Brazilian heavyweight was recently involved in trouble with Tony Ferguson before UFC 216. The two argued when the lightweight asked Werdum to “shut up” during his interview. “Vai Cavalo” was punished by Ultimate himself for using homophobic insults towards Ferguson.
