Filed under: Featured , News , UFC Shortly after dodging flying refuse on his way out of Ibirapuera Gymnasium in Sao Paulo on Saturday night, Colby Covington paused to reflect on the experience . “I enjoyed it,” Covington (13-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) said. “I had a great time out there. It was a lot of fun.” By “it,” he meant not only the thrashing of recent welterweight title challenger Demian Maia (25-8 MMA, 19-8 UFC) in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 119, but also everything that came after, including when he told about 10,000 Brazilians that they were “filthy animals” and their nation was a “dump.” As if on cue, the locals began looking around for trash to dispose of – you know, clean the place up a little bit – and there was Covington, on his way backstage anyway, so apparently they all had the same idea to give their unwanted beer receptacles to him as he passed by surrounded by security staff. #UFCSP co-main-event winner Colby Covington ( @ColbyCovMMA ) sure knows how to fire up a crowd
