TMZ: Jorge Masvidal Pleads No Contest to Charge from Altercation with UFC's Covington

Former UFC star Jorge Masvidal has pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery in his case with longtime rival Colby Covington. According to TMZ, Masvidal will not face probation or serve jail time.

Masvidal's attorney Bradford Cohen said the two felony charges of aggravated assault and criminal mischief were dropped as part of the plea agreement. There is also no stay-away order in the agreement, per TMZ. The 38-year-old had been facing over 10 years in prison.

The case stems from an altercation between Masvidal and Covington in March 2022 outside of a restaurant in Miami.
