Jorge Masvidal Issues Warning to Colby Covington After Striking Plea Deal

Jorge Masvidal claims he is not done with Colby Covington despite having reached a plea deal in a criminal case that dates to March 2022.

Masvidal was accused of attacking Covington outside a Miami steakhouse hardly a fortnight removed from their UFC 272 clash, which “Chaos” won via unanimous decision. On Monday, “Gamebred” pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge as part of a plea deal to have two felony charges of battery and criminal mischief dropped.

While Masvidal is relieved that the lawsuit is finally over, he claimed his saga with Covington is not done during a recent appearance on "The MMA Hour.”

“I don’t know when, but me and Colby are going to see each other at some point, whether it’s in a f—ing cage or I don’t know where the f—k it’s going to be,” Masvidal said. “We’re going to see each other. For him lying on my name, for him pressing charges, for everything he’s done, we are going to see each other. It’s going to be fun, man. It’s going to be interesting. I’m going to knock the rest of his teeth out. I got to knock two of his fake ass teeth out [in March 2022].

“[If] we see each other, let’s handle it, bro, like f—king men – and that’s all it is. It’s not like I lose sleep over this guy or cheer for him or hate on him. I don’t give a f—k, really. But whenever I see his ass, he’s got to answer for all those comments he said in the past and for putting me through this case and bulls—t…They took away my guns. I’m in Miami. I have to have my guns – motherf—ers are wild. They took away my guns, bro. They said I couldn’t have my guns while I have an open case.”

Masvidal retired from the sport in April following a decision loss against Gilbert Burns, which put the Miami native on a four-fight losing streak. Meanwhile, Covington is scheduled to challenge Leon Edwards for the welterweight title at UFC 296 on Dec. 16 despite having not competed since his clash against Masvidal.
