In a furious post-fight interview, he made disparaging comments about Brazil and other welterweight competitors, notably Tyron Woodley, the champion at the time. After beating Maia, he took the opportunity to disparage Brazil as a whole, calling its citizens a bunch of “filthy animals.” After it went viral, he used his reputation as a jerk to get a lot more attention.

Many people in the MMA community might not be aware of the circumstances that gave rise to the former interim champion’s bad image. Covington has always desired the center of attention and the limelight.

Controversial comments made against combatants and fans in the past two years have been common.
