Colby Covington hotad till livet av Werdum – likställer individer med Adolf Hitler

Vi kan kalla det för boomerang-incidenten. UFCs tidigare tungviktsmästare Fabricio Werdum hamnade i häftig dispyt med den frispråkige welterviktaren i UFC, Colby Covington. För ca. en vecka sedan ses Werdum kasta en plastpåse med innehåll av en boomerang som träffar Covington. Men det vi inte hörde genom videon har nu uppdagats av Covington själv genom ”The MMA Hour”.

Där menade den kontroversielle welterviktaren att Werdum med tränare skall ha hotat honom till livet. Vidare åberopade Covington yttrandefrihet och likställde individer med Adolf Hitler som kallat honom för en så kallad ”golare”.

All of a sudden I get hit in the face from the side. I’m like, ‘Whoa, what’s going on?’ I’m a little concussed, like a little bit messed up in the head. Like, whoa, what just happened? All this heat-of-the-moment type stuff. I look up and it’s Fabricio Werdum and he’s still coming at me with his coach Rafael Cordeiro and they’re acting like they’re gonna jump me.

I knew nothing about Werdum. His claims are completely lies. I said nothing to him. I didn’t even see him before he hit me in the face. He’s out here saying, ‘Colby was calling me a filthy animal.’ No, I said those comments three weeks ago. Those comments are old. You can’t come up and attack someone because of free speech. It’s not OK to condone violence because of free speech.

Where’s the equality at?. All the people that are saying, ‘Oh, he’s a snitch, he went to the cops.’ Yeah, you know. You’re condoning violence because of free speech. You know what that’s called, Ariel? That’s called fascism. You know who else believed in fascism? Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. It’s not OK, Ariel. There will be justice served.

I regret anything that I said, because I was a little concussed, man. He hit me in the face. Like, he’s calling me these anti-gay slur remarks a bunch of times. He’s saying I’m gonna kill you, this and that. My head is spinning, I just wanted to get that out there for evidence
