Jorge Masvidal was arrested Wednesday and charged with aggravated battery and criminal mischief following an apparent attack on UFC rival Colby Covington earlier this week.

Miami Beach Police tweeted March 23 that its "detectives have arrested and charged Jorge Masvidal with aggravated battery" and "felony criminal mischief."

ESPN reported later that Masvidal was being held on a $15,000 bond.

The sports website also reported that Masvidal's attorney called Miami Beach police Wednesday, and that officers told Masvidal to surrender himself.

Local 10 News obtained footage of Masvidal heading to jail Wednesday.

Watch it here:

A police report Tuesday said Masvidal fractured another man's tooth in a fight at the Papi Steak Restaurant in Miami Beach where, incidentally, a curfew has been imposed as a reaction to several violent incidents over the last week.

Covington was not listed as the victim by the police report, but MMA Fighting reported that he was the person assaulted during the altercation. The publication reports that Covington told police that he was outside, and Masvidal "ran up to him" and "punched him with a closed fist" to the mouth, and also to the left eye.

Masvidal apparently told Covington: "You shouldn't have been talking about my kids."

The welterweight fighters competed in a big UFC event earlier this month at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Covington won the fight after spending weeks berating Masvidal in an ugly promotion from both parties.

Speaking to Insider and other reporters after his defeat at the time, Masvidal said that losing to Covington was painful because he kept making things personal by talking about his family and his children. Covington also called Masvidal a communist even though he knows the Cuban proclaims to loathe Fidel Castro.

"It just sucks," Masvidal said March 5.

MMA Fighting reported that Masvidal could face time in prison as well as a fine, if convicted of the current charges.

Masvidal has since tweeted: "What's open right now?"

Covington hasn't posted a tweet since his victory over Masvidal earlier this month.
