Colby Covington’s recording of identifying Jorge Masvidal as the man who allegedly assaulted him outside of a restaurant on the night of March 21 goes viral.
Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal is one of the most heated and grudge rivalries in the history of UFC . The pair finally got to fight each other at UFC 272 in which Covington defeated Masvidal via unanimous decision.
However, it didn't end there as both fighters happened to have a physical altercation outside of Papi Steakhouse in Miami Beach. Covington immediately called the cops on Masvidal and the fighter was arrested after two days for felony.
Recently, Covington's call recording with the police was released in which the fighter said, "As soon as we’re about to walk across the street, I get side-swiped from the side. Like, I get punched in the mouth real quick and kind of get dizzied [sic] up. It’s Jorge Masvidal. I can see his hair coming out of his hoodie, but he has a facemask on, a surgical facemask."
Masvidal was furious about the way Covington mocked him during the press conference and that loss just added fuel to the flame.
