UFC stars Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal proved that their beef is still very much alive.
According to reports, Masvidal and Covington came face to face outside of Papi Steak in Miami Beach and a physical altercation broke out. Per TMZ, Masvidal waited for Covington to exit the restaurant where he had been eating dinner with the Nelk Boys. Social media posts tipped Masvidal off to Covington’s location and when Covington exited the restaurant Masvidal allegedly attacked him.
Masvidal’s manager Malki Kawa hinted that Covington had a tooth knocked out during the scuffle.
I’m hearing that a someone not from miami who says he’s the king of it is missing a tooth. Can someone confirm this? I need the video asap.

Masvidal also shared a brief video on the altercations and implied Covington had visible damage on his face.
“All this show your face challenge, what’s up, I’m from Dade County. You talk that sh*t you have to back it up, that’s how my city rolls man,” Masvidal said.

Video from the alleged fight has yet to surface, but TMZ did share video of Covington speaking to police after the incident.
“He’s over here swinging, trying to come at me, and I ran,” Covington told police while asking social media star Bob Menery, “How would he know I’m here?”
If you recall, Masvidal and Covington fought inside of the UFC Octagon on March 5 in the main event of UFC 272. Covington scored a dominant unanimous decision win.
