The arrest took place in the late hours of Wednesday night and Masvidal was charged with one count of aggravated battery in a mask resulting in great bodily harm(a fractured tooth and an abrasion on his wrist) and one count of criminal mischief($15,000 worth of damage to Covington’s $90,000 Rolex watch).

Covington pressed charges against Masvidal after the incident. The police report states that Masvidal ran up and struck Covington without notice while wearing a blue surgical mask and said “you shouldn’t have been talking about my kids”. Masvidal surrendered to police custody where his injured and stitched hands were photographed.
