In January 2022, Masvidal launched another MMA promotion, iKON FC, which would feature both UFC veterans and up-and-coming fighters.{{cite web|url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2022/1/14/22884429/jorge-masvidals-ikon-fc-ufc-fight-pass-jan-21-jared-gooden-aaron-highbaugh-title-fight-headlines|title=Jorge Masvidal's iKON FC to debut on UFC Fight Pass on Jan. 21, Jared Gooden vs. Aaron Highbaugh title fight headlines|website=MMA Fighting|date=2022-01-14|access-date=2022-04-03}} The promotion's inaugural event aired on UFC Fight Pass on January 21, 2022.{{cite web|url=https://mmasucka.com/2022/01/21/ikon-fc-1-results/|title=iKON FC 1 Results|website=MMA Sucka|date=2022-01-21|access-date=2022-04-03}}

On March 21, 2022, Masvidal physically attacked UFC rival Colby Covington, whom he had been defeated by at UFC 272 a few weeks prior.{{Cite web |date=2022-03-22 |title=UFC's Jorge Masvidal faces felony battery charge after Colby Covington dust-up |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/mar/22/jorge-masvidal-colby-covington-felony-battery-fight |access-date=2022-03-23 |website=the Guardian |language=en}} As Covington was leaving a restaurant, Masvidal reportedly ran up to Covington and punched him twice, fracturing one of Covington's teeth and causing an abrasion on his wrist. Masvidal was arrested two days after the incident and charged with aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm and one count of criminal mischief. Masvidal surrendered to Miami Beach police and was detained at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a $15,000 bond; he was later conditionally released.{{Cite web |last=Lowe |first=Rosh |date=2022-03-24 |title=UFC star Jorge Masvidal facing felony charge, surrenders to Miami Beach police |url=https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/03/24/ufc-star-jorge-masvidal-facing-felony-charge-surrenders-to-miami-beach-police/ |access-date=2022-03-24 |website=WPLG |language=en}}

Masvidal pleaded not guilty to the charges on April 21, 2022.{{Cite web |date=2022-03-24 |title=Jorge Masvidal pleads not guilty to charges in alleged assault on Colby Covington; court date set |url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/03/ufc-jorge-masvidal-pleads-not-guilty-colby-covington-assault-case |access-date=2022-03-25 |website=MMA Junkie |language=en-US}} At his arraignment on April 28, Masvidal was issued a stay away order and the aggravated battery charges were updated after Covington said he suffered a brain injury from the attack.{{cite web|url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/04/jorge-masvidal-colby-covington-ufc-stay-away-order-next-court-hearing-may-12-alleged-attack-battery-brain-injury|title=Judge orders Jorge Masvidal to stay away from Colby Covington; next court date set|date=April 28, 2022|work=MMAjunkie.com|author=Matt Erickson}} The hearings and trials were postponed thrice due to joint continuances until May 2023.{{cite web|url=https://www.mmamania.com/2022/8/31/23330774/jorge-masvidal-trial-date-rescheduled-december-following-joint-continuance-colby-covington-mma|title=Jorge Masvidal trial date rescheduled for December following joint continuance in Colby Covington case|date=August 31, 2022|publisher=mmamania.com|author=Jesse Holland}}{{cite web|url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2022/11/ufc-news-jorge-masvidal-colby-covington-trial-date-joint-continuance|title=Jorge Masvidal trial date pushed to February after joint continuance|date=November 17, 2022|work=MMAjunkie.com|author=Nolan King}}{{cite web|url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2023/02/ufc-jorge-masvidal-lawyer-optimistic-settlement-colby-covington-assault-case|title=Jorge Masvidal's attorney expresses optimism of settling Colby Covington assault case before trial|date=February 15, 2023|work=MMAjunkie.com|author=Nolan King}}

On November 6, 2023, Masvidal pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge in a Miami-Dade County court, following a plea agreement that resulted in the dismissal of two felony charges stemming the altercation with Covington outside a Miami restaurant in March 2022. Masvidal received a sentence equivalent to time already served and was ordered to pay court costs. The resolution of this case concluded a legal chapter for Masvidal, who could have faced significant prison time and fines if convicted of the original felony charges.{{Cite web |last=Staff |date=2023-11-06 |title=Gamebred Takes Plea Deal in Covington Assault, Case Resolved |url=https://cagesidepress.com/2023/11/06/gamebred-takes-plea-deal-covington-case-resolved/ |access-date=2023-11-06 |website=Cageside Press |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |date=2023-11-06 |title=Jorge Masvidal makes deal to drop felony charges in Colby Covington incident, pleads guilty to misdemeanor battery |url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2023/11/jorge-masvidal-plea-deal-guilty-misdemeanor-battery-colby-covington-felony-charges-dropped-ufc-news-mma-court |access-date=2023-11-06 |website=MMA Junkie |language=en-US}}
