The police were called by Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal was arrested a few days later. The former UFC lightweight is now out on a $15,000 bond and had a hearing with the Nevada State Athletic Commission where he attempted to get a license for his promotion, Gamebred Fighting Championship.

“Since I do have an open case, I’m not supposed to talk about it, but I guess you’re referencing that,” Masvidal responded as first reported by MixedMartialArts.com. “If we could table [the application], it would be better. Right now, I had mutual [combat] with another athlete and I can’t say too much on that, but if we could table it for later, that would be amazing… To my knowledge, I have not been charged. I do have lawyers on the case, and they’re talking back and forth.”

The hearing ended with the commission opting to wait until his case was resolved before making a decision. It will have to be seen if the UFC chooses to do anything with Jorge Masvidal.
