Jorge Masvidal under investigation for felony battery after alleged Covington assault

From the sound of things, it seems that Jorge Masvidal may be in some serious trouble after reportedly assaulting former friend, training partner, and Octagon foe Colby Covington outside a Florida restaurant.

Word spread quickly Monday night on social media, that ‘Gamebred’ had jumped Covington at Papi Steak in Miami Beach—in part thanks to a video posted by Masvidal himself, calling on Covington to “show your face,” and a series of incriminating tweets posted by Masvidal’s manager Malki Kawa.

More information has now come to light, with ESPN reporting details from the police report, where a witness stated that a masked and hooded man appearing to be Jorge Masvidal ran up on the left side of an unnamed victim, as the person exited the Papi Steak restaurant, and struck them twice, landing blows to the mouth and eye.
