Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington got into a pretty gnarly situation after the two fought in the Octagon for real. Overall, it did not end well for either party. On one end, you had Covington who lost a tooth and who was concussed. Meanwhile, Masvidal was charged with aggravated assault and criminal mischief charges. Needless to say, this was not a good look for Masvidal, who had just lost his fight. Now, however, there is a new development in the case that is good for Gamebred.
According to TMZ, Jorge Masvidal will not face any punishment for what took place. There will be no jail time, and additionally, there will be no probation. By pleading no contest to misdemeanor battery, the MMA star was able to get his two previous charges scrubbed from the record. While Masvidal has not claimed guilt in this, guilt will appear on his record. Effectively, that is the only punishment that the fighter has to face.
