There is an ongoing rift between Donald Cerrone and Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA. After “Cowboy” spilled some information of how things are running at the famed Albuquerque gym from his perspective, Mike Winkeljohn responded by stating how he is “happier” that the “narcissistic” Cerrone is no longer training with the team.
Different opinions have been formulated about the issue, with people taking sides. Former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate, for one, is on Team Cowboy.
“I feel like we’ve heard this story about this camp before when it was Rashad Evans and him feeling like he was pushed out of the spot with Jon Jones coming in,” Tate said on MMA Tonight on SiriusXM Fight Nation (transcript via MMA Fighting).
