Previously unheard audio reveals UFC welterweight Colby Covington speaking with police and identifying Jorge Masvidal as the man who allegedly assaulted him outside of a restaurant on the night of March 21.
The alleged incident took place outside of Papi Steakhouse in Miami Beach, Fla., resulting in Masvidal’s arrest two days later on March 23. He was charged with single counts of felony aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm and criminal mischief, and entered written pleas of not guilty.
The new audio, released Thursday by YouTube channel Real World Police, is of Covington giving his full statement to two detectives just past midnight on March 22, about 90 minutes after the altercation. Covington spoke with police for almost 9 minutes, offering his first on-record account of what transpired.
