Jorge Masvidal is in jail in Florida … he’s been arrested over his alleged attack on Colby Covington.
Jail records, obtained by TMZ Sports, show the 37-year-old UFC star was booked in Miami at 10:27 PM ET on Wednesday, where he posed for a mug shot.
The records show he was booked on two charges — aggravated battery with a mask, and criminal mischief. His bond has been set at $15,000, the records show.
WPLG Local 10 News shot video of Masvidal as he entered the jail in cuffs. The footage shows he sprinted into the station without taking any questions from reporters.

As we previously reported, Masvidal has been accused of punching Covington twice as his UFC rival was leaving popular restaurant Papi Steak on Monday night.
In police documents, cops say Covington told them Masvidal hit him in the mouth and the eye — causing him to fracture a tooth.
Cops also say Covington suffered an abrasion on his wrist and a damaged watch.
