Former Jackson-Wink GM reveals gym secrets: Hooker's training, Jones' memory, and more

Former Jackson-Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov shared a series of revelations about the renowned gym in an interview. Josh Hooker's primary sparring partner ahead of UFC White House is a welterweight grappler with a losing record, and Greg Jackson will not be in Hooker's corner for the event due to his political views. Lyubimov also revealed that Jon Jones forced Roman Dolidze out of the gym after seeing him as a threat to his position, that Claresa Shields' MMA career stalled because she was too lazy to train wrestling, and that the Jackson-Wink gym's decline stems from both Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn burning out and disengaging from daily operations.
