Jorge Masvidal inches closer to trial after his alleged assault of UFC rival Colby Covington.
At a report hearing Thursday in Miami, Judge Zachary James of Florida’s 11th Circuit Court set a trial date of Aug. 29 in the aggravated battery case in addition to a docket sounding Aug. 17. Masvidal did not appear in court but once again was represented by attorney Bradford Cohen.
The judge also granted a motion for the defense to inspect Covington’s watch, the center of a second charge of criminal mischief, which Masvidal also faces. The defense claims the alleged Rolex is not valued properly and that it is a “Frankenstein” watch.
