A UFC fighter has been charged with assaulting a rival with a boomerang at Sydney's Hilton Hotel.
Former UFC heavyweight champion Fabricio Werdum, 40, and rival fighter Colby Covington, 29 began arguing just outside the prestigious hotel, with the beef escalating when Werdum allegedly threw a bag containing the boomerang at Covington, hitting him in the neck.
It was all captured on film and from multiple angles.
