Colby Covington mocked Fabricio Werdum (as you’d expect) after UFC-London KO loss
It’s no surprise Colby Covington was patiently awaiting an opportunity to take a shot at Fabricio Werdum. He got it after Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 127 main event.
Werdum (23-8-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC) suffered a knockout loss to Alexander Volkov (30-6 MMA, 4-0 UFC) in the heavyweight headliner at The O2 in London. It was likely a welcomed sight for Covington (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC), who had a memorable run-in with the former UFC heavyweight titleholder in November.
Covington and Werdum had an ugly altercation in Australia that led to the Brazilian hitting the welterweight contender with a boomerang (yes, a boomerang). Covington pressed charges, and as a result Werdum was forced to pay a $600 fine.
Shortly after the conclusion of Werdum’s loss, Covington jumped on social media and posted a couple of shots at the ex-champion.
Via Twitter:
Although Covington may receive some flack for the timing of his posts, it’s clear he has no problem pouring it on a fighter when they’re already down. He recently did the same to fellow welterweight Mike Perry following his loss at UFC on FOX 28 in February.
