Criminal mischief can also result in imprisonment or fines for bbabo.net.
The arrest of Masvidal comes after an altercation that allegedly took place outside a Papi Steak restaurant late Monday night, March 21, where Covington was having dinner with the Nelk Boys, the creators of popular podcasts who frequent UFC events. The police report notes that the victim told police that Masvidal attacked him as he was leaving the restaurant.
The 37-year-old fighter owns the symbolic belt of the organization's "main scoundrel" in the UFC. In 2019, Masvidal scored the fastest knockout in league history, defeating Ben Askren in five seconds. In total, over the years of his career in MMA, the American won 35 victories with 14 defeats.
