A public feud is brewing between Donald Cerrone and the Jackson Wink MMA gym, and Mike Perry is standing by his new team.
Cerrone said earlier this week that his relationship with the New Mexico gym that he’s called home for years has become fractured due to what he perceives to be a mishandling of the business by coach Mike Winkeljohn. According to Cerrone, Winkeljohn lowered the quality of the training there by allowing anyone, regardless of experience, to come in and work with the pros so long as they paid their membership fee, and also of kicking Cerrone out of the gym when it was announced that he would be fighting Perry at UFC Denver on Nov.
