Under gårdagen släpptes en video där man fick se en konfrontation mellan welterviktaren Colby Covington och den före detta tungviktsmästaren Fabricio Werdum.
Covington hävdade då att Werdum hade slagit till honom med en så kallad ’sucker punch’, det vill säga ett fulslag, men Werdum menar att han inte gjort det och att det var Covington som började det hela.
I en annan video filmad av UFC-lättviktaren Dan Hooker fick man se att Werdum faktiskt hade kastat en boomerang mot Covington. Werdum står fast vid att han inte slagit någon, men att Covington startade bråket med en benspark.
Det har berättade Werdum via ’FloCombat’:
This guy is really audacious. I went down with my master [Rafael Cordeiro]: ‘Master, let’s get a hair cut and shave the beard.’ We were in the lobby, and I’ve never seen this guy before. When I walked he looked at me and said: ‘Brazilian animals.’ And I was like: ‘Hey.’ I slapped his phone and asked, ‘What did you say?’ Then, he kicked my leg, but I managed to defend. Then the guys got in the middle and had nothing left. But he kicked me, he is audacious. I could have hurt myself.
If I had hit him in the face, he would be in the hospital. Certainly. There was no punch, he’s crazy.
Covington vill nu väcka åtal mot Werdum, vilket bekräftades via ’Sherdog’:
I just got confirmation that @ColbyCovMMA is pressing charges against @FabricioWerdum. I also heard the security video shows Werdum punching Colby and the police have it. Plus there’s an eye witness that was there from start to finish. #theplotthickens #Letsseehowthisplaysout
