Following his unanimous decision win over Sao Paulo native Demian Maia on Saturday, Colby Covington made incendiary comments about Brazil and fighters didn’t approve of the blatant disrespect.
“Brazil, you’re a dump. All you filthy animals suck,” he said during his post-fight interview causing an immediate reaction via social media. He was escorted from the Octagon to the boos of the crowd who hurled food, drinks and anything they could launch at him.
@ColbyCovMMA talks the talk walks the walk!!! What an impressive performance against a legend on enemy turf! Congrats Colby!!! #UFCSaoPaolo

Calling someone's country a dump and it's people animals is disrespectful. Also could be considered racist.

Woodley sleeps Mr Covington in round 1…. #ufcSP

After that performance, I wouldn't call out T-Wood, because he would hurt Colby, bad. #UFCSaoPaulo

TRENDING > Colby Covington Rushed Out of Arena After Trashing Brazil (Video)
Well @ufc just had to add full time security for Covington to their budget until he gets back to the states……for real

So @ColbyCovMMA calling out @TWooodley…. dues gets starched in 2 minutes or less. Some of the ugliest striking I’ve seen.

Come on man, be respectful!

I'll put good money on him never even fighting for the belt. 🙂 https://t.co/LCKjJ79uPy

Please teach him how to respectfully earn a shot. https://t.co/3Nf6pGcHST

He changed his name to Colby "Cotton Fist" Covington. Or Easy Money Covington. Sum like that. I'm embarrassed he was proud of that https://t.co/cVDPnB7e5T
— Tyron T-Wood Woodley (@TWooodley) October 29, 2017
Classless.

*doorbell rings*@TWooodley: Who’s there?@ColbyCovMMA: ME!
Woodley: Get in line.

I want to see @USMAN84kg and Colby Covington.
— Tatiana Suarez (@TSPMMA115) October 29, 2017
Cmon that's ridiculous. He would get washed by @USMAN84kg
— Zebrinha MMA (@EricSpicely) October 29, 2017
It's totally embarrassing. Do the heel thing that's fine but alienate a large % of ATT fighters isn't really smart. https://t.co/2cPIOE0SPd
