The bad blood between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington seems to have gotten worse since their five round fight in the main event of UFC 272 a few weeks ago. Covington won that bout by unanimous decision after weeks of farcical promotion from both men.
Masvidal and Covington’s fight-selling hype might have crossed over into real world animosity recently, with accusations that Masvidal attacked Covington at a Miami restaurant on March 22.
A police report stated that the unnamed victim of the suspected attack—who is being widely reported as Covington—stated that Masvidal approached him wearing a hoodie and blue surgical mask outside the Papi Steak restaurant and blindsided him with two punches to the face, resulting in a fractured tooth.
