Before the incident, Covington criticized fighters who look for fights outside the Octagon. “At the end of the day, we are professionals. Stop acting like street thugs. Let's not fight in the streets. I get paid very well to go in there and fight on pay-per-view. I'm not going to fight in the street. All these guys want to look tough and act like they're from the streets. That's cool, man. I'm glad you want to look tough, and your nerves are raw, but you need to go beyond your emotions,” Covington told the US website 'MMA Junkie'
Covington became famous in Brazil after he created immense confusion in UFC Sao Paulo, in October last year. The North American, who faced Demian Maia at the show, he provoked the fans throughout the week of the event and even said that 'Brazilians were dirty animals' in the interview while still in the octagon.
Charles is also not left out when it comes to confusion. In 2005, Benett fought with Cristiano Marcello backstage at Pride where he ended up blacked out.
