MIAMI – Jorge Masvidal has his next court date set in the wake of his alleged attack on rival fighter and former friend and roommate Colby Covington.
And while Covington’s initial complaint in the police report, in which he wasn’t named, mentioned a chipped tooth and damaged watch, updated charges revealed Thursday name Covington as the victim outright – and say he suffered a “brain injury” from the alleged attack.
Thursday, Judge Zachary James of Florida’s 11th Circuit Court set May 12 as the next court date, at which time it’s possible a trial date could be set. Masvidal on Thursday retained the same not guilty pleas for two counts against him as he previously had entered in written pleas following his arrest.
