Brawl Footage Shows a Startled Colby Covington Surrounded by Police After Face-Off With Jorge Masvidal: “How Would He Know I’m Here”
Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal seem to be like an infamous couple in the UFC. They just can’t seem to keep their hands off each other. Inside the ring, outside the ring, it doesn’t matter- it’s on sight for both of them. At least a lot more for Jorge Masvidal than Colby Covington.
Following their historic showdown in the main event of UFC 272, Covington, who emerged victorious after his dominance over Masvidal with wrestling, seems to have arrived at the conclusion that he’s definitively better than his former friend. With that being said, Covington doesn’t see the utility in fighting Masvidal anymore, although the rivalry still burns bright.
For Masvidal, however, the show seems to be far from over. Reports, as well as a video, have surfaced where the fighter allegedly attacked Colby Covington after a dinner with the Nelk boys, outside the Papi Steak in Miami Beach.

The video above was shot half an hour after the two got into the fight. Chronologically speaking, Masvidal was not dining at the restaurant. Covington, while on his way out, was allegedly attacked by ‘Gamebred’, which led to the cops getting called and a crowd gathering around them.
Covington stated, “He’s over here swinging, trying to come at me, and I ran …” He further added, “How would [Masvidal] know I’m here?”

What does this mean for Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington?
Masvidal attacking the welterweight outside the restaurant was a clear message that he hasn’t buried the hatchet. Despite going all out in the octagon for five full rounds, ‘Street Jesus’ still sees a lot of unfinished business with his former friend.

This might mean a personal situation for both the fighters. However, fight fans may see the possibility of the UFC cashing in and booking a second fight between the welterweights.
