MIAMI — Just over two weeks after losing a UFC fight to former friend and now arch rival Colby Covington, Jorge Masvidal is accused of cracking Covington’s tooth after cracking him with a couple of sucker punches.
Masvidal, 37, was arrested on charges of battery and criminal mischief. He’s been released from Miami-Dade Corrections custody after posting $15,000 bond.
Social media and an arrest report place the incident outside Papi Steak, 760 First St. in Miami Beach, around 11 p.m. Monday night. That was a few hours after Miami Beach declared a “state of emergency” after consecutive nights of shootings during spring break. Sports radio host Andy Slater reported the confrontation first on his Twitter feed within a half hour after it happened.
