The Jorge Masvidal – Colby Covington trial date has been set for August 29, 2022.<\/p>\n

It was Covington (17-3 MMA) vs Masvidal (35-16 MMA) at UFC 272 in March of this year. Covington came out the victor in the welterweight main event. Just over two weeks later Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington outside of the cage.<\/p>\n

The upcoming trial is a result of an altercation which occurred between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington outside a Papi Steak restaurant.\u00a0 Covington was ambushed leaving the facility, suffering a fractured tooth and wrist abrasion, as well as damage to his Rolex watch. Colby alleges Masvidal ran up to him from his left and punched him<\/a> twice in the face.<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal was arrested two days later by the Miami Beach police and booked on March 23rd. Masvidal posted the bond of $5,000.00 and was subsequently released.<\/p>\n

At a hearing today, Thursday, May 12th in Miami, Judge Zachary James of Florida\u2019s 11th Circuit Court set a trial date of Aug. 29 in the aggravated battery case in addition to a docket hearing Aug. 17. Although Masvidal did not appear in court he was represented by his attorney Bradford Cohen.<\/p>\n

A motion for the defense to inspect Covington\u2019s watch, the center of a second charge of criminal mischief was granted by the Judge. The defense is claiming the alleged Rolex is not valued properly and that it is a \u201cFrankenstein\u201d watch.<\/p>\n

The judge denied Bradford Cohen\u2019s motion to subpoena third-party footage of the alleged incident (per MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Another motion requesting past medical records and immediate evaluation was delayed to a further date as the defense is still working on the acquisition of emergency room records from the current incident.<\/p>\n

A further motion to strike on the basis of \u201cfailure to report to any authority\u201d was denied without prejudice by Judge James, as the new court dates were set.<\/p>\n

A docket hearing is scheduled for Aug. 17, where the judge will determine if the parties are ready to go to trial on Aug. 29th.<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal is currently facing up to 15 years in prison and\/or a $10,000 fine for second-degree felony aggravated battery with additional penalties possible for the criminal mischief charge.<\/p>\n

So it will be Covington vs Masvidal on August 29th, outside the Octagon and inside a courtroom. A lot is on the line for Masvidal, following his defeat at UFC 272, will he find a way to win inside the court?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
