MIAMI – A continuance has been granted in UFC star [autotag]Jorge Masvidal[/autotag]’s battery case for his alleged assault of rival Colby Covington.
The continuance was issued by a judge on Wednesday at the request of the office of State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. The reason for the continuance is unclear. Masvidal is set to appear in court next week, April 28. He was not present at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building on Wednesday but was represented by attorneys Mauricio Padilla and Brad Cohen.
Masvidal, 37, entered a written plea of not guilty last month to one count each of aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm and criminal mischief. The charges stem from an alleged physical altercation with Covington outside a restaurant March 21.
