It seems like former UFC heavyweight champ Fabricio Werdum isn’t taking the assault summons he was served with after being seen hitting trash-spewing UFC welterweight Colby Covington with a boomerang in Sydney, Australia, all too seriously.

“Vai Cavalo,” who will take on Marcin Tybura in the main event of tonight’s UFC Fight Night 122, was apparently sick of Covington calling his Brazilian countrymen “filthy animals” repeatedly since he uncorked the derogatory phrase following his win over local hero Demian Maia at October 28’s UFC Sao Paulo.

He was seen hitting Covington with said boomerang in a video from UFC featherweight Dan Hooker. But with the weapon now involved in the “alleged” assault from Werdum, he was once again void of his favorite souvenir. That is until he posted a video on Instagram telling his friend acting as the store clerk that he was purchasing a new one, “because the other day I threw one and it didn’t came back.”
