Law enforcement officials have taken one person into custody after a person was shot on Thursday at the home of recently retired UFC star fighter Jorge Masvidal in Southwest Miami-Dade.

TMZ reported that Masvidal, 38, was not home at the time of the incident, but that his father, Jorge Masvidal Sr., was taken into police custody and was being interviewed over the incident.

Miami-Dade Police responded to a call at the home around 3 p.m. and discovered EMTs were providing aid to “an adult male who was shot in his upper extremities.”

Police said that the victim told them that he was “involved in an argument that escalated when the subject produced a firearm and shot him.”

Police confirmed that Masvidal, who retired from UFC last month, “was not present during the incident and did not have any involvement.”

The victim and the subject were involved in an argument when a gun was pulled out. The two parties reportedly knew each other.

Masvidal is one of the most well-known fighters in the world and is especially big among conservatives as he has repeatedly praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump.

Masvidal also is well known for his staunchly anti-communist views.

In 2021, Masvidal called former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick a “coward” over Kaepernick’s previous wearing of a Fidel Castro t-shirt.

“Know ur history and facts cowards like this fool should be sent to live in Cuba see what they say after a day there,” Masvidal wrote in a post published to the UFC star’s Instagram.

Masvidal was scheduled to participate in a bare knuckle fight on Friday night. It’s unclear whether those plans might change due to the incident that happened at his home.

“Putting together the final pieces for the first sanctioned bare knuckle fight in Florida,” he tweeted Thursday. “We used to risk our freedom for this now we’re getting legal checks for this what a blessing @GamebredFC”

Russian and Ukrainian diplomats tussled over the flag of Ukraine at a meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Community in Ankara, Turkey, on Thursday.

A representative from Ukraine was posing for a photograph while holding the flag when a representative from Russia walked over, ripped the flag away, and walked toward an exit. The Ukrainian member chased him, throwing several punches at the Russian’s head before taking the flag back.

Bystanders rushed in to pull the men apart and keep them separated.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation was founded in 1993 to foster cooperation and closer economic ties between countries in the region. Russia and Ukraine were two of the founding members along with Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, and Turkey. The group has since expanded to include Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year strained those relationships, according to The Telegraph.

At an event and during remarks from a Russian diplomat, some of Ukraine’s delegation rushed into the room shouting and waving a Ukrainian flag. The Ukrainians protested another time when a member of the Russian delegation addressed the assembly while wearing a St George’s ribbon, which the Ukrainians saw as a symbol of Russian aggression.

The Ukrainians were so enraged that they pushed away security personnel who stepped in to quiet the conference. The speaker of the Turkish parliament, Mustafa Sentop, ejected the Ukrainians and instructed delegates to protest orally.

“There is nothing wrong with this. If attempts are made to hold actions, the site of today’s meeting will cease to be a parliamentary event and turn into a street movement,” he said.

The tensions at the assembly come on the heels of Russia accusing Ukraine and the U.S. of collaborating on an attempt to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin by sending two drones to the Kremlin. Moscow reported shooting down two drones that flew over the Kremlin earlier this week, causing them to crash into the building. The Kremlin said that the incident did not harm any people or property.

The U.S. and Ukraine have both denied any involvement in the alleged incident.

“Mr. Peskov is lying, obviously. It’s a ludicrous claim. The United States had nothing to do with this. We don’t even know exactly what happened here,” U.S. national security spokesman John Kirby told CNN Thursday morning, referring to a Kremlin spokesman. “I can assure you the United States had no role in it whatsoever.”

“We neither encourage nor enable Ukraine to strike outside Ukraine’s borders,” he added.
