Former Jackson-Wink general manager Mikhail Lyubimov shared a series of revealing details about the renowned gym. He disclosed that Josh Hooker's primary sparring partner for the White House card is a welterweight grappler with a losing record, and that Greg Jackson will not be in Hooker's corner at the event due to political differences. Lyubimov also revealed that Jon Jones had no memory of sparring with Jiri Prochazka, and that Jones once forced Roman Dolidze out of the gym after Dolidze repeatedly submitted Jones's BJJ coaches. Additional revelations included Cub Swanson permanently leaving the gym after Arman Ospanov broke his ribs with a spinning kick, and Claressa Shields failing to progress in MMA due to extreme unwillingness to train wrestling and grappling.
