Colby Covington accuses Jorge Masvidal of assault
In a recent Instagram post, the victor of UFC 272 showed the Papi’s steakhouse, where he was attacked. He said, “It’s Jorge Masvidal. I can see his hair coming out of his hoodie, but he has a face mask on, a surgical face mask. But he’s saying, ‘you shouldn’t f**king talk about my kids’… So, I was easily able to identify like that. That’s his voice, that’s his eyes, that’s his hair. I know exactly who that is. And he took two quick punches to me, like it happened so fast when we were crossing the street to go to my car, to leave, to go to the next place.”

A new footage has now emerged, which shows Masvidal’s arrest and interrogation. Although the UFC fighter was later released on a bail after posting a $15000 bond, the heat is far from settled.
In a video released by the ‘Real World Police’, the ‘BMF’ was shown in an interrogation with the police. As the officer left the room, ‘Gamebred’ was seen smiling. The charges of aggravated battery and criminal mischief could land the fighter in deep trouble. If found guilty, he could face a severe penalty or 15 years of imprisonment.
