The triumvirate members who fought against Brutus and the conspirators were Octavian and Marc Antony.
to pretend to honor them
Brutus did not plan to kill Mark Antony although he most certainly thought about it. Brutus knew Antony was loyal to Caesar and that Antony had military skills. Brutus, however, clearly underestimated the damage that Antony could cause. Brutus made a mistake and he would die for his conspiracy against Caesar.

Antony
The reason Antony does this is to make the citizens/ the poor to go and against Cassius, Brutus, and the conspirators. :D
He believes that the people will turn against Brutus and the other conspirators and start a riot.
well, because for one Antony is Caesar's friend and for two he wants revenge on the conspirators for killing his best friend. So to get revenge on the conspirators Antony is going to get the crowd to turn against the conspirators and get back at them for murdering Caesar.
Brutus believes that Antony is the same kind of person he is; a man who can be trusted to keep his word and act honourably. While Antony is suggesting that Brutus is dishonourable by calling him honourable, he himself is acting dishonourably by breaking the spirit of his promise to Brutus. Irony upon irony!
This is because Mark Antony remains successful in completely turning the minds of the Romans,who supported the conspirators, against them and raging to seek revenge against Brutus and the others.
He calls Brutus "an honorable man" distinguishing him as someone who has proper motives while the other conspirators may be wicked
