Once upon a time, before he was adequately prepared to deal with such things, the idea of a teammate vs. teammate fight was a sensitive subject for Greg Jackson.

As his Albuquerque, N.M.-based camp continues to grow, Jackson finds it more and more difficult to avoid cornering against opponents with which he has had absolutely no connection.

Case in point: At UFC 187 on Saturday, Jackson will be the lead man between rounds in critical bouts for Andrei Arlovski, Donald Cerrone and John Dodson.
