Coach Wink suggests Cris Cyborg's PED history matters more than Brock Lesnar's

Back in February, when Cris Cyborg was fighting a suspension from USADA – from which she eventually received a retroactive exemption – Coach Mike Winkeljohn took to the media to give his thoughts on a potential fight between Cyborg and notable Jackson-Wink talent Holly Holm. The long and short of those thoughts being that, if such a fight were to happen, Cyborg should have to sit out a year first, to ensure that she’s clean.

So, with all the talk about Brock Lesnar – himself currently suspended for PED use –potentially fighting Jon Jones, it only stands to reason that Winkeljohn would feel just as strongly; that Lesnar needs to take more time and really prove he’s clean, rather than being rushed into a bout with the Jackson-Wink light heavyweight champion.
