Brazil isn’t Colby Covington’s favorite place. The UFC welterweight has been vocal about his displeasure towards the country following a tumultuous recent visit during which he defeated Brazilian native Demian Maia.<\/p>\n

A post-fight speech<\/a> aimed at the crowd elicited its fair share of criticism, none more than from former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum. The two were actually involved in a confrontation earlier this year which resulted in one of the strangest headlines<\/a> in recent memory, on any beat.<\/p>\n

Making matters worse, Covington is involved in a two-front war as he continues to prod UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in the hopes of baiting the champ in two a fight. Woodley was recently involved in a series of rumors connecting him with a possible fight against Nate Diaz in a bizarre welterweight title match. Covington wasn’t thrilled<\/a> to be cut in line by a man who is predominantly a lightweight and is coming off of a loss.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Covington took to his Instagram page, live-streaming between gym sessions. Covington makes sure to mention both men, carefully managing the entities in his career that keep him on the tongues of MMA fans. “He felt what I did to him in the gym. I took his soul”<\/em>, Covington states in his post, which was captured by MMAFocus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Covington then turns his attention on to Werdum. “Brazil is a filthy dump, and all those filthy animals, especially Fabricio Werdum”,<\/em>\u00a0Covington says before proclaiming that he didn’t engage with Werdum during their boomerang altercation because he’s a prizefighter, not a street fighter.<\/p>\n

How well this will work out for Covington has yet to be seen. With Woodley and UFC president Dana White on a perpetual rollercoaster of relationship woes, who knows when an agreement will be made for the champ’s return, let alone who that will return will be against.<\/p>\n
