This has caused ‘Gamebred‘ to be charged with assault against Covington.
It was the UFC’s worst kept secret that Covington was on the fringe of being cut after his fight with Demian Maia, due to his inability to sell and the way he fights. He is not a knockout artist by any means and grinned fights to decisions with his wrestling and technical striking.
After his decision win over Maia in his hometown of Brazil, he called Brazil a dump and all the Brazilians dirty animals. He has taken his WWE like persona and ran with it.
