That then turned into them getting into arguments at the gym. After that, according to Masvidal, both men were kicked out by Dan Lambert.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Colby&#8217;s that one person and I always say this, when I see him, it is a free pay-per-view right there.

I know a lot of people think, man you&#8217;re an idiot, you&#8217;re a professional fighter why would you do that. Because I f*****g feel like it and nobody tells me what to do.
