Diego Sanchez defends Jackson-Wink MMA after the gym was verbally assaulted by Donald Cerrone who put them on blast in a recent interview. On Wednesday, August 29, Cerrone spoke with longtime UFC commentator Joe Rogan where he gave his feelings about some of the things that have gone at JacksonWink MMA.
This is a gym that he has trained at for the mass majority of his pro-MMA career. During this appearance on Rogan’s podcast, he broke down how in his mind, things have gone downhill. That didn’t sit well with those who still train there.
Sanchez, who also trains at the gym, caught wind of the comments made by Cerrone. Thus, he decided to defend the gym in a recent post on his official Instagram account.
