Jorge Masvidal Plea Bargain: All We Know About the Legal Case Following Colby Covington Restaurant Incident

Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal do not like each other. They have had many instances of heated moments. However, things went a little too far in 2022 when ‘Gamebred’ attacked Covington outside a restaurant in Miami. Now, almost after a year, Masvidal pled guilty to the misdemeanor battery on his assault charge. Meanwhile, we will take a look at what transpired during that incident.

Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal used to be great friends who trained and even lived together. At one point, their bond looked unbreakable, but soon they started to hate each other after ‘Chaos’ won the interim UFC title. Moreover, things went a little too far during an incident that took place in Miami. Let’s take a look at that front.

What happened between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington in Miami in 2022?

According to reports, ‘Gamebred’ and ‘Chaos’ were involved in an altercation outside Papi Steak, a restaurant in Miami. Colby Covington was there with the Nelk Boys, which was apparent in a video he shared on social media. However, things were about to take a turn for the worse.

Then Jorge Masvidal reportedly arrived at the restaurant and attacked the former interim champion when the latter was about to leave. ‘Choas’ had made some comments about his former friend’s children. That seemingly angered Masvidal and ended up attacking Covington.

Thereafter, video footage emerged of Colby Covington, who was surrounded by law enforcement officials after the incident took place. He then went on to accuse Jorge Masvidal of sucker-punching him and continuing his attack until ‘Chaos’ lost one of his teeth that night. Moreover, Covington also accused his former friend of damaging his Rolex watch, which was worth around $90,000.

After all the reports, Jorge Masvidal was arrested. He was charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief. However, he did not plead guilty at that time. Nevertheless, he was ordered to stay at least 25 meters away from Colby Covington. Now, more than a year after the incident, ‘Gamebred’ finally got closure on the assault case.

‘Gamebred’ pleads guilty to end his assault case on Covington

Jorge Masvidal recently pled guilty to the misdemeanor battery. It was a part of his plea deal with prosecutors. Moreover, a couple of other felony charges were also dropped relating to the attack on Colby Covington in Miami. Masvidal will not face any jail but will have to pay the court fees concerning the assault case. After the fourth gave their decision, ‘Gamebred’ took to social media and sent a message to Covington.

“F*** you, Colby. It’s going to be a f***ing movie now,” said Jorge Masvidal, claiming that his court case might just become an idea for the Hollywood filmmakers. He added, “All these orders, all these restraining orders been lifted off. It’s going to be a f***ing movie.” It surely was a sigh of relief for the former BMF of the UFC to be a free man.
