Dustin Poirier has dared Colby Covington to head to the American Top Team gym in Florida next month as their feud continues.

“The Diamond” called the former UFC interim welterweight champion a “sell out” for trash talking their teammate Jorge Masvidal – who claims Covington did not pay their coach after his last fight.

That prompted Covington to hit back, saying Poirier’s comments were “childish” and “distasteful”, and saying Poirier was only angry because he picked Khabib Nurmagomedov to beat him at UFC 242.

When asked how he planned to deal with Covington, Poirier told Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on ESPN: “I’ll show you, you’ll read about it.”

The American was calling into Helwani’s show on a road trip with his family in Louisiana, but he said was on his way back to Florida.
