#4. Colby Covington calls Brazilians "filthy animals" at UFC Fight Night 119
Colby Covington went to war with Demian Maia in 2017. After defeating his opponent via decision, he claimed to be the deserving UFC welterweight champion. After the fight, which took place in Sau Paulo, Brazil, 'Chaos' blew up the mic during his UFC octagon interview.
Speaking to Daniel Cormier, Colby Covington went on a fiery rant that caused an uproar in the arena. Covington called out then-reigning champion Tyron Woodley while insulting the Brazilian crowd in one of the most shocking UFC octagon interviews ever. He said:
"Brazil, you’re a dump! All you filthy animals suck. I’ve got one thing to say: Tyron Woodley, I’m coming for you. If you don’t answer the front door, I’m going to knock it in and I’m going to take what’s mine, that welterweight belt!"
#3. Chael Sonnen challenges Anderson Silva to a high-stakes rematch
After defeating Brian Stann at UFC 136, Chael Sonnen gave one of the most shocking UFC octagon interview moments ever. He insulted the reigning UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and challenged him to a rematch. In 2010, Sonnen was submitted by 'The Spider' at UFC 117.
Looking to avenge his loss and get another shot at the UFC middleweight title, Chael Sonnen asked Anderson Silva to up the stakes. As Joe Rogan began to question 'The Bad Guy' about the performance he put up that night, the UFC fighter capitalized on Silva attending the event and said:
"Anderson Silva, you absolutely suck. Super Bowl weekend...the biggest rematch in the history of the sport. I'm calling you out, Silva. It's time to up the stakes. I beat you, you leave the division. I lose, I will leave the UFC forever."
It was one of the most iconic call-outs ever seen, especially considering the stakes that Chael Sonnen set. While the Brazilian did not respond immediately, the two faced each other again a year later. Silva defeated Sonnen, this time via TKO, and another year later, Sonnen was suspended from MMA for failing the third drug test of his career.
