Former Jackson Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov revealed that Josh Hawkit's primary sparring partner is a welterweight grappler with a losing record, and that head coach Greg Jackson will not work Hawkit's corner at UFC White House due to political differences with the event's setting. Lyubimov also stated that Jon Jones once forced Roman Dolidze out of the gym after Dolidze was giving Jones and his BJJ coaches trouble on the mats, and that Jiri Prochazka visited Jackson Wink but Jones had no memory of the session. He attributed the gym's decline to Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn burning out, with Winkeljohn now prioritizing real estate over coaching. Lyubimov praised Steve Garcia's elite gym level, noting that Nikolai Kiosse was left stunned after sparring him.
