The audio of Colby Covington’s interview with police detectives following the alleged attack by Jorge Masvidal has been released.<\/p>\n

It all started at UFC 272 in March of this year when Colby Covington (17-3 MMA) defeated Jorge Masvidal (35-16 MMA) in the welterweight main event.<\/p>\n

Less than 3 weeks later it was Masvidal who allegedly attacked Covington outside a restaurant on the streets of Miami.<\/p>\n

An audio tape of Covington\u2019s interaction with police detectives following the alleged attack has now been released:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was eating inside Papi Steak house with my friend Kyle Forgeard, who\u2019s the main guy for the Nelk Boys, and then another guy named Bob Money, who\u2019s a super-famous personality. They put up a story post that we were hanging out together\u2026 We didn\u2019t post where we were, but I could see it\u2019s easy to identify.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing, Colby Covington said (h\/t MMANews<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we decide we\u2019re gonna leave Papi and we\u2019re gonna go to Swan to go meet up with some people over there, some friends. As soon as we walk out, a bunch of people kind of bombarded us. They wanted pictures, a couple people were asking me to sign gloves \u2014 I signed like, four or five different gloves from three or four different fans.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Explaining that he was on his way to his vehicle, the 34-year-old said he was attacked from the side:<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we\u2019re like, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s go, let\u2019s get outta here, it\u2019s time to go.\u2019 As soon as we\u2019re about to walk across the street, I get side-swiped from the side, I get punched in the mouth real quick and kinda get dizzed up. I look up and I see who it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Colby Covington then told the officers who the assailant was:<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see in his eyes, it\u2019s Jorge Masvidal. I can see his hair coming out of his hoodie, but he has a face mask on\u2026 But he\u2019s saying, \u2018You shouldn\u2019t have f*cking talked about my kids!\u2019 \u2026 I was easily able to identify, like, \u2018That\u2019s his voice, that\u2019s his eyes, that\u2019s his hair; I know exactly who that is.\u2019 He took two quick punches at me. It happened so fast.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Following the altercation, Covington explained he went back into the restaurant to call the police:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re like, squared up and I\u2019m getting him off of me, because he\u2019s with a couple of people. There was one bigger guy that had his fist clenched and he was gonna come at me, but I was able to get away from Jorge, run back to Papi Steak house. He followed me back in\u2026 but there was a couple security guys\u2026 I went behind the bar, called the police station, and waited for your guys\u2019 arrival.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Concluding, Covington explained his injuries:<\/p>\n

\u201cI definitely suffered the injury to my tooth, he chipped my front tooth. The adrenaline\u2019s still kinda going right now, but he definitely rocked me, I saw stars a little bit\u2026 I was just trying to get to safety.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Colby Covington did indeed press charges against Jorge Masvidal following the incident.<\/p>\n

A trail date is scheduled for February 27th of 2023. The 38 year old ‘Gamebred<\/a>‘ is facing a charge of aggravated battery and criminal mischief. If found guilty, Masvidal could be sentenced to up to 15 years behind bars.<\/p>\n

What do you think of Covington’s account of the attack from Masvidal? Do you think Masvidal should face jail time for his actions?<\/p>\n
