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

Former Jackson Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov shared a series of behind-the-scenes revelations about the gym's biggest names. Jon Jones famously dominated all sparring partners including Jiri Prochazka and heavyweight fighters, yet never remembered them afterward, while Roman Dolidge was pushed out of the gym by Jones himself after proving too competitive. Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn are described as burned out — Jackson frequently absent and Winkeljohn increasingly disengaged and focused on real estate. Claressa Shields' MMA transition failed because she was too lazy to train wrestling and grappling, despite dominating everyone in boxing including men. Cub Swanson permanently left Jackson Wink after Arman Ospanov broke his ribs with a spinning kick.
