Jorge Masvidal and the Nevada Athletic Commission on Wednesday agreed to delay a hearing that would allow licensure for the UFC star’s Gambred Promotions to hold events in the state.
That decision was made as uncertainty surrounds an incident on Monday in which police suspect Masvidal of committing felony battery after he allegedly attacked Colby Covington outside Miami restaurant Papi Steak.
Masvidal was present virtually for the commission’s monthly meeting, where he gave his first public comments since a police report stated an unnamed “victim” claimed Masvidal punched him twice in the face, resulting in a fractured tooth and wrist injury. While Covington was not named, a bystander’s video shows Masvidal being restrained from him and later Covington speaking with police.
