The fallout from Donald Cerrone’s unceremonious departure from longtime training camp Jackson-Wink MMA, which ultimately chose to train his opponent, Mike Perry, instead.
Now, one former teammate at Jackson-Wink, Diego Sanchez, is defending the gym while tearing into Cerrone for his recent comments in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
Cerrone said that coach Mike Winklejohn “just drove that place into the ground… (he) literally turned it into a puppy mill. It’s only about making money.”
Sanchez took exception to Cerrone’s statements and blasted the Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight in the process:
“No lie I have been here longer than anyone and seen the many stages of our evolution of this team!
