Henry Cejudo is the latest fighter to give his take on the situation between UFC welterweights Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. Cejudo was on Covington's side while talking about the situation and pressing charges.
Henry Cejudo is very against the sucker punch that Jorge Masvidal hit Colby Covington with. The former UFC champion admitted he would also be pressing charges if he was in that situation.
“I think if I was in Colby’s situation – it’s hard for me to not say, especially if you sucker-punch and not press charges,” former UFC champion Cejudo said on “The Schmozone.” “Because if somebody sucker-punched me, I’m pressing charges, dude. You know what I’m saying? Like, I’m really pressing charges. I don’t care who you are, because that’s just not cool.
“But the Plan B, for me for Colby, would be: Fight him again. Fight him again and get pay-per-view points this time. Get your money back in that way. You set it up and be like, ‘Hey Dana (White), I will drop all the charges if you give me another fight with Jorge Masvidal because he sucker-punched me, but I want pay-per-view points for this fight,' the former UFC fighter concluded.”
Jorge Masvidal could find himself in a lot of trouble legally after assaulting Colby Covington. The Cuban-American UFC fighter is currently awaiting an update on his case.
There is currently no update on the future of Jorge Masvidal in the UFC and no fight has been lined up yet for Colby Covington. Things are expected to get very ugly as the situation continues to evolve between the two.
