New Video Shows Jorge Masvidal’s Arrest, Interrogation in March

A new video surfaced showing what went down during the arrest of former Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title contender Jorge Masvidal in March.

The “Real World Police” YouTube channel uploaded video of the night Masvidal (35-16, 12-9 UFC) spent at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Miami police arrested and interrogated “Gamebred” a day after his alleged altercation with former teammate-turned-bitter-rival Colby Covington on March 22. Allegedly, Masvidal assaulted the former UFC interim champion outside of the Papi Steak Restaurant in Miami, provoking a fractured tooth and an abrasion on Covington’s wrist. Masvidal and Covington collided in the UFC 272 headliner on March 6, resulting in a unanimous decision victory for “Chaos.”

Masvidal was charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief; he pleaded not guilty and will stand trial in 2023. His felonies are punishable by up to 15 years in prison as well as a $10,000 fine.
