A new video surfaced showing what went down during the arrest of
former
Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title contender
Jorge
Masvidal in March.
The “Real World Police” YouTube channel uploaded video of the night
Masvidal (35-16, 12-9 UFC) spent at Turner Guilford Knight
Correctional Center. Miami police arrested and interrogated
“Gamebred” a day after his alleged altercation with former
teammate-turned-bitter-rival Colby
Covington on March 22. Allegedly, Masvidal assaulted the former
UFC interim champion outside of the Papi Steak Restaurant in Miami,
provoking a fractured tooth and an abrasion on Covington’s wrist.
Masvidal and Covington collided in the UFC 272 headliner on March
6, resulting in a unanimous decision victory for “Chaos.”
Masvidal was charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief;
he pleaded not guilty and will stand trial in 2023. His felonies
are punishable by up to 15 years in prison as well as a $10,000
fine.
