Colby Covington 'not good' after Jorge Masvidal's alleged street attack, says Chael Sonnen

Colby Covington apparently isn’t in a good way after allegedly being attacked by Jorge Masvidal outside of a steakhouse in Florida.

The alleged incident reportedly took place last Monday night outside Papi Steak restaurant on Miami beach.

The former interim UFC welterweight champion, 33, had been out for a meal with Canadian YouTube group the Nelk Boys when the confrontation is said to have occurred.

It came a few weeks after the best friends turned bitter rivals met each other in the main event of UFC 273 in Las Vegas, where Covington got his hand raised courtesy of a unanimous decision verdict.

Both men had exchanged heated words in the build-up to the fight, as years of hatred finally culminated in them coming face to face in the octagon.

Retired MMA fighter Chael Sonnen – who has a good relationship with Covington – delivered a concerning update on his fellow American’s condition after the alleged attack.

The ESPN pundit said via a Twitter video: “Not good. Guys keep asking me how is Colby doing?

“I’m gonna be very light on details; this is not my story to tell.

“You want an answer? There’s your answer – not good.”

Masvidal, 37, was recently spotted in attendance at iKON Fighting Championship 2 at the Miami Airport Convention Center in March 18.

He was charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief, the Miami Beach Police Department said.

Masvidal was later released on Monday night after posting $15,000 (£11,300) bond.

He has entered a not guilty plea to the charges while also calling it ‘a mutual combatant with another athlete’.

Former UFC two-weight champion turned pundit Daniel Cormier – a long-time colleague of Sonnen’s – also opened up about the recent allegations.
