Given that it was in a plastic bag and they were in Australia, I'm thinking he'd just bought it.

I can't believe Werdum bought a boomerang just so he would be prepared to hit Colby with it when the opportunity presented itself.

Australian police are happy to go arrest someone for common law assault if they see a video of it happening, regardless of whether anyone actually reported it.

It's not up to the victim as to whether they want to press charges?

Nope. The decision to lay charges in assault cases belongs to the Office of Public Prosecutions, based on the police investigation.

Which I assume was fairly short in this case.

What happens if Werdum just doesn't show up? I doubt they'd try to extradite him back to Australia. Or will they prevent him from leaving the country?

Handcuffs only weight about 10-12 ounces, so it shouldn't matter much at the 265 pound weight class.

Well the court date is 13th December. Probably what happens is he cuts a deal to appear by video-link, they find him guilty and he gets a fine he can easily afford and a good behaviour bond for a first offence.

The problem is for the UFC is that after he's guilty of a crime here, chances of him ever getting a visa to come back here are vanishingly small. Which isn't that much of a problem because he's going to be boo'd out of the building on Saturday night regardless of the outcome, because Australians are super racistreally like Mark Hunt and will blame Werdum for not getting to see him, so the UFC will almost certainly never try to book him for here again.

edit: lol Colby confirmed herb

Colby Covington beat Demian Maia in Brazil last month and then got on the microphone and called the Brazilian crowd "filthy animals". Fabricio was just defending his countrymen's right to throw trash into the octagon when their favourite fighter gets wrestlefucked.
