UFC's Fabricio Werdum Attacks Fighter with Boomerang After Alleged Slur
BREAKING NEWS
NO FISTS NEEDED
Seriously -- we're not making this up.
It all went down at the UFC fighters' hotel in Sydney ... when rising welterweight star Colby Covington allegedly called Werdum a "filthy Brazilian" in the lobby.
FYI, Covington hurled a similar insult at a Brazilian crowd after his last fight in Sao Paulo ... and Fabricio's one of the UFC's biggest Brazilian stars.
So, Werdum did what any angry Australian tourist would do -- he took it outside and UNCORKED HIS **** BOOMERANG!!!
It missed -- but the battle wasn't over.
Covington went on a racist and ****phobic rant against the former heavyweight champ ... and also claimed Fabricio punched him in the face.
"Look at you, f**king f**got," Colby said. "F**k Brazil. F**k Fabricio Werdum ... and they wonder why they get talked to like that -- 'cause they’re a bunch of animals."
But Werdum says he didn't punch Covington ... claiming Colby got physical first by throwing a kick.
The UFC released a statement saying they'll investigate the incident ... and Covington told MMA Fighting he plans on pressing charges.
