BITTER UFC competitors Colby Covington & Jorge Masvidal got into a brawl at a Miami restaurant - less that three weeks after their grudge match.
After a four-year feud, the former best friends became rivals in the main event at UFC 272 Las Vegas.
Covington emerged victorious from the Battle of Miami, defeating Masvidal in five rounds of wrestling to win a unanimous decision victory.
Round six began Monday night at the Papi Steak Restaurant in Miami Beach's bustling district.
According to TMZ the incident occurred after Covington, an interim welterweight champion, had dinner with YouTube stars The Nelk Boys.
Masvidal, a fan favourite, reportedly attacked Covington as his old pal left the restaurant.

After the altercation, police were quickly called to Covington.
Covington stated that "He's swinging, trying come at me. And I ran."
The controversial welterweight asked Nelk Bob Menery: "How would [he] find out I'm here?"
Menery responded, "I don’t know. You can find everything on the internet.
Masvidal, 37 years old, might have gotten Covington's address from Menery's Instagram story about Covington at the restuarant.
In a short video posted to his social media, the UFC's BMF Champion mocked Covington later that evening.
He stated, "I'm calling it the show your face challenge. Wassup, I'm originally from Dade County.
"You can't talk this s***, you have to back it up. This is how my city rolls, man.

Masvidal told Covington shortly after their earlier month grudge match that he would do anything to "break his f***ing jaw".
He said that UFC 272 was a post-fight press conference and that it was suck because an idiot spoke about his children.
"He's still someone, if he sees me out on the streets, I'm going give him everything that I have to break his f***ing jaw.
