Jorge Masvidal has confirmed he is facing three felony charges for his alleged attack on Colby Covington.<\/p>\n

It was Colby Covington (17-3 MMA) vs Jorge Masvidal (35-16 MMA) in the welterweight main event at UFC 272 on March 5, 2022. Covington won the fight by unanimous decision.<\/p>\n

Just over two weeks later, on March 21, 2022, Covington was coming out of a Papi Steak restaurant in Miami<\/a>, when he was allegedly attacked by Jorge Masvidal. The two friends, turned enemies, saw ‘Gamebred’ take the fight out of the Octagon and onto the street, injuring ‘Chaos’.<\/p>\n

Covington was apparently left with a fractured tooth, a wrist abrasion, damage to his Rolex watch and even a possible brain injury during the altercation. Immediately pressing charges, Masvidal was arrested on March 23.<\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal subsequently posted $15,000 bond on March 24 and was released from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami.<\/p>\n

Masvidal, in speaking with Ariel Helwani of ‘The MMA Hour<\/a>‘, when asked if the case against him is still underway, replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I\u2019m facing three felonies, if you wanna know the exact truth. And yeah, you know, still pending, you know. This guy\u2019s a coward f**k. So, what could I expect from a coward f**k like him?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Jorge Masvidal when asked if he’ll be able to return to the Octagon this year replied:<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, but, I mean, the justice system, right? So, it\u2019s not like I get to make up these calls and stuff, you know? I wanna say I\u2019ll be okay. I was in the positive impression about my faith in the good outcome. But I\u2019m still facing three felonies, you know.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Masvidal is indeed scheduled for a plea hearing on Aug. 17 where it will be determined if a plea deal is offered and accepted, or if the situation will move to trial, which would then be scheduled to begin Aug. 29.<\/p>\n

Should the fighter go to trial and be found guilty, he could face up the 15 years in prison and\/or a $10,000 fine.<\/p>\n

Do you believe Jorge Masvidal will get a plea deal or will end up going to trial for his alleged altercation with Colby Covington?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
