The heavy weight Fabricio Werdum did not need to return to Australia to resolve his disputes with the local court after getting involved in a mess with Colby covington. A Sydney judge sentenced the Brazilian to pay a fine of AUD 600 (R$ 1500) at a hearing this Friday (15) in the Australian city. Initially, the judge had demanded that the fighter return to the country to argue his case, but as his case was classified as “common assault”, it was not necessary for the athlete to return to Sydney.

Before UFC Sydney on November 18th, “Vai Cavalo” met with the welterweight at the hotel he was staying at before his fight with Marcin tybura. The two exchanged insults and insults and Werdum threw a boomerang in the direction of the American, who was still punched, according to his own testimony. After the confusion, Covington filed a report with local police. The confusion was motivated by the North American's repeated provocations and insults towards the Brazilian people and Brazil.

Even with the confusion, the former heavyweight champion kept his head on straight and beat Tybura by unanimous decision in the main fight of UFC Sidney. The Brazilian dominated the action both on the feet and on the ground and neutralized the Pole, winning his second victory in a row and putting himself back on track for the belt in the category he dominated between 2015 and 2016.
