Ex-Jackson Wink GM reveals Jones, Pico, Shields, Swanson gym secrets

Former Jackson Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov has shared a series of revelations about the gym's biggest names. Jon Jones reportedly had no memory of sparring with Jiří Procházka, Rodrigo Machado Vágabov, or Modesta Bukauskas, yet dominated all of them including heavyweights. Jones also demanded Roman Dolidze be removed from the gym after the Georgian repeatedly submitted Jones's BJJ coaches and taunted them. Lyubimov says Jackson Wink's decline stems from Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn burning out, with Winkeljohn now more focused on real estate than fighting, while Claressa Shields's MMA transition stalled because she was "very lazy" in wrestling despite excelling in boxing and kickboxing. Cub Swanson permanently left the gym after Arman Ospanov broke his ribs with a spinning kick.
