Former UFC star Jorge Masvidal alleged officers from the Miami Beach Police Department showed a bias toward Colby Covington during their physical confrontation in March 2022, according to TMZ Sports.
A few weeks after they fought at UFC 272, Masvidal and Covington crossed paths outside of a restaurant in Miami Beach, Florida. Masvidal was formally charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief after allegedly striking Covington, who suffered a broken tooth and later said he experienced a "brain injury."
TMZ Sports reported Masvidal's attorneys are alleging Covington didn't call emergency services on the night of the incident but instead reached out to a Miami Beach police officer he knew "so he could receive concierge police intervention.
