JORGE MASVIDAL jogged into custody after his alleged assault on UFC rival Colby Covington.
The pair reportedly clashed in a Miami steakhouse on Monday – less than three weeks after their grudge match inside the octagon.
In a video posted to Twitter by a local Miami journalist, Masvidal is seen emerging from a police car in handcuffs.
A reporter at the scene can be heard shouting “Jorge do you have anything to say” as he quickly runs into the police station.
ESPN report Masvidal, 37, was taken into custody late on Wednesday night on charges of aggravated battery with bodily harm and criminal mischief.
His bail is claimed to have been set at $15,000 (£11,400).

It’s suggested Masvidal surrendered himself to police after his lawyer called the Miami Beach police department.
An incident report obtained by ESPN describes Masvidal as twice punching a man in the face outside the exclusive Papi Steak restaurant in Miami Beach.
A punch to the mouth caused part of the man’s tooth to break, while the other punch made connection with his eye.
£11,000 worth of damage is also claimed to have been done to the victim’s £68,000 Rolex watch.

While fellow UFC star Covington is not named in the report, Masvidal said in an Instagram video: “Call this the show your face challenge, you “You shouldn’t have been talking about my kids.”know?
“What’s up, I’m from Dade County. You talk that s**t, you gotta back it up. That’s how my city rolls man.”
Masvidal is also understood to have required stitches to his right hand after the incident.
He is also thought to have said: “You shouldn’t have been talking about my kids,” again before the attack.
The pair fought at UFC 272 on March 5 after a bitter four-year feud , with Covington winning the bout via unanimous decision.
Shortly after losing match, Masvidal warned Covington he’d do everything in his power “to break his f***ing jaw” after the latter reportedly talked about Masvidal’s children.
