Former BMF Champion Jorge Masvidal has been entangled in a legal battle with former UFC Interim Welterweight Champion Colby Covington ever since Masvidal allegedly attacked Covington at a Miami restaurant in March of 2022.
After a year-plus of legal activity, MMA Junkie is reporting that Masvidal has reached a plea deal in the matter that has seen the fighter plead guilty to a misdemeanor battery count. The deal will also see two other charges leveled against Masvidal dropped by the state of Florida’s persecution team.
Masvidal was sentenced to time served, meaning that as of now, there will be no further jail time being served by the former BMF Champion.
The fighter posted the following video on Instagram after the legal proceedings were finished:
MMA Junkie also provided the following transcript of what Masvidal said in the video:
“I just beat the case. I want to thank God, and I also want to thank (my attorney) because I’m a free f*cking man. F*ck you, Colby. It’s going to be a f*cking movie now. All these orders, all these restraining orders, all these things have been lifted off. It’s going to be a f*cking movie.”
