The victim, identified as Luis Leoncini, was taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital for what appeared to be gunshot wounds to both arms, the report said.
Leoncini is a family acquaintance of Masvidal, police said.
According to the report, Leoncini told investigators that Masvidal shot him after the two got into an argument inside the home near the kitchen.

Footage showed a large amount of police officers surround the sprawling home shortly after the shooting.
Masvidal was taken into custody, and after a search warrant was executed, investigators found a revolver inside a kitchen cabinet, the report said.
"The alleged shooter in this case also stated along with the victim that they were in a heated discussion, it turned into an argument and that argument esculated to the point where the shooter shot the victim," Miami-Dade Police spokesman Chris Thomas said.
The victim, Leoncini, was said to be in stable condition.
Property records show the house belongs to the retired UFC fighter. Police said they couldn't confirm who the home belongs to but don't believe Masvidal was involved.
The elder Masvidal was booked into jail and given a $10,000 bond. Attorney information wasn't available.
