Former Jackson-Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov shared several notable revelations about the storied gym, including that Jon Jones once demanded Roman Dolidze be expelled from the team because Jones viewed him as a legitimate threat to his status. Lyubimov also disclosed that Cub Swanson permanently left the gym after Arman Ospanov broke his ribs with a spinning kick in sparring. According to Lyubimov, the gym's decline stems from Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn burning out — Jackson is frequently absent while Winkeljohn has grown disenchanted and is now more focused on real estate. He also highlighted Josh Hokit's unconventional fight camp ahead of UFC White House, noting that Hokit's primary sparring partner is a welterweight grappler with a losing record and that Greg Jackson will not work Hokit's corner because of his political opposition to Donald Trump.
