Former Jackson-Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov shared a series of revelations about the legendary gym's inner workings. Jon Jones reportedly had no memory of sparring Jiri Prochazka despite the Czech fighter visiting the facility, and Jones himself pushed for Roman Dolidze to be removed from the gym after viewing him as a legitimate threat. Lyubimov also disclosed that Josh Hooker's primary sparring partner is a welterweight grappler with a losing record and that Greg Jackson will not corner Hooker at UFC White House due to political differences with the Trump administration. The gym's decline was attributed to burnout from both Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn, with Winkeljohn now spending more time on real estate than coaching.
