Jackson-Wink fighter Mike Perry has vowed to give Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone a ‘Spartan worthy beautiful death’ at UFC Denver.

Cerrone made headlines earlier this week on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast. He publicly lambasted his former team Jackson-Wink MMA. Claiming that the once fabled gym had since lost its luster. Coach Winkeljohn wasted little time firing back at Cerrone. Claiming he had never seen anyone as narcissistic as Cerrone in his life. Former longtime teammate Diego Sanchez even weighed in on the matter.

Now “Platinum” Perry has responded.

Perry, who is a known jokester, tweeted Youtube celebrity Logan Paul. The tweet was meant to be a dig at Cerrone for claiming that any old “bum” off the street can come train at Jackson-Wink.

Perry then turned his attention directly toward Cerrone. Saying that “Cowboy” has no idea what money problems are. And adding that he will, in fact, give Cerrone a “Spartan beautiful death.”

For good measure, Perry shot a quick video for Cerrone. Perry can be heard yelling “I’m coming for you! (growl) I’m coming for you in front of the whole world, motherf**ker! You earned it. You earned it.”

Donald Cerrone Absolutely Destroys Jackson-Wink MMA

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone just went off on his longtime gym Jackson-Wink MMA.

It’s apparently time that “Cowboy” Donald Cerrone absolutely destroys Jackson-Wink MMA.

Cerrone is gearing up for a fight against Mike Perry at UFC Fight Night 139 in Denver, Colorado. But as “Cowboy” tells it, there just may be some dissension in the ranks over at his longtime camp Jackson-Wink.

Appearing on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast earlier today (Wednesday, Aug 29, 2018) Cerrone explained how he found himself in a rather uncomfortable position heading into his fight with Perry.

“I went to talk to Greg and Wink and say, ‘Hey, this guy’s brand new to the gym. He’s only been here one camp, a couple of months. I don’t think that it’s okay for him to come in and call me out. That’s not right. So if he is doing that, I don’t think we should allow him to train here for this fight,’” Cerrone said. “Then f*ck*ng Winkeljohn tells me, ‘I thought you called him out’, he’s just a sh*t-*ss and lies to your face, so to me he was like, ‘Sure, no problem, we’ll clear it up and we won’t have any issues.’”

Cerrone said that Winkeljohn called him the very next day. The team met and decided that Perry could train at the gym for his upcoming fight against Cerrone himself. “Cowboy” has a theory, that is, he has always directly dealt with coach Greg Jackson on all financial dealing. However, Perry’s dealings were directly through coach Winkeljohn.

Cerrone feels that longtime coach Greg Jackson should’ve had his back on this one.

“With Greg, his name is on that building. It’s Jackson-Wink. Jackson-f*ck*ng-Wink,” Cerrone said. “When it came time to pick the decision and they said, ‘We want to go with Perry.’ Why the f*ck didn’t you stand — because Greg’s still with me — he’s like, ‘I’ll just come to the ranch and we’ll sort this out.’ And I’m like, ‘What the f*ck are you talking about?’ You tell me I can’t come into the Jackson-Wink gym, but you’re going to backdoor and come into my f*cking house and we’re going to train to fight while Perry’s there at the gym.”

“You see everything he does and then you’re going to come and you’re going to train me, not to mention you’re holding classes there and — you might not be training him to beat me, but there’s a lot of people there that have trained with me for f*ck*ng years. So to me, that was the point I was saying. Can we just not have him there for this camp?”

Cerrone stated that ever since Jackson and Winkeljohn partnered up back in 2007, that the training has been subpar. Cerrone blames Winkeljohn for putting profit over the quality and individuality of training. He also believes that Winkeljohn was none too happy about his decision to branch off and create his own gym, the BMF Ranch.

“When Winklejohn merged over, all the big pros left, it turned into a puppy mill,” Cerrone said. “Back when Greg had it, and it was its own school, you couldn’t turn up to a pro class. Some guy couldn’t just come here, knock on your door, and the next thing you know he has shin pads on and he’s sparring.”

“Literally at the new gym, bums come in off the street — I swear to God — and will come in and put stuff on and fight. That’s a true story. Random bums off the street. That would never happen back in the day.”

Cerrone believes that mismanagement of fighters is the number one reason why the gym isn’t the powerhouse it once was. At one point Jackson-Wink was the marquee destination for elite fighters.

“You should have an infrastructure set in place, especially if you’re the greatest at one time,” Cerrone said. “If your winning percentages are in the 80s and 90s and now they’re in the 20s. I have no clue what the winning record of our gym is, but it’s nothing like it used to be. It’s f*cking asinine to me.”

UFC Suggesting Fighters and Coaches Purchase Fight Pass Instead of Sending Them Fight Tapes.

Cheap Shot

We all know UFC is on the hunt for economy. After the UEM-ING’s 4 billion dollar purchase of the promotion from the Fertita brothers things have been a bit tight to say the least. We’ve seen a myriad of “big money” fights and interim titles to garner interest in the casual fan. However there are some amenities a professional sports organization must provide, and tape of their rival individual/ team is one of them.

We all know UFC is on the hunt for economy. After the UEM-ING’s 4 billion dollar purchase of the promotion from the Fertita brothers things have been a bit tight to say the least.  We’ve seen a myriad of “big money” fights and interim titles to garner interest in the casual fan. However there are some amenities a professional sports organization must provide, and tape of their rival individual/ team is one of them.

In a recent twitter post Brandon Gibson (coach at JacksonWinkMMA) let the social media community know that the UFC will no longer be providing coaches and fighters with fight tape and want fight team to purchase UFC fight pass instead.

While we all love UFC fight pass, professionals who are in the sport need tape to properly prepare their fighters. Tape provides things like slow motion, the ease of rewind, and other tools fight camps need to adequately study the competition. Now coaches will either have to DVR and edit or hire someone to do it for them.

The UFC use to provide zip drive links to download which lead Brandon Gibson and the Jackson Wink fight team to 3 of the top 10 knockouts of 2016, so we’d like to think they know what they’re talking about.

The question you have to ask yourself is do the ends justify the means? Do a couple of thousand dollars justify making it harder for coaches to prepare their fighters for quality fights? You would think as a business the UFC would want to put out the highest quality product for the least amount of give. The most return for your invest. If you’re viewing it from that sense then this latest move is a real head scratcher. Is the promotion really bleeding that bad?

Hit us up in the comments section below on your views of the latest UFC changes. Should the fighters and coaches just get over it or is this just a little ridiculous.

Jones’ Coach: Jon Still Would Have Beaten Cormier At UFC 197

Ever since the heated few weeks preceding Jon “Bones” Jones and Daniel “DC” Cormier’s first championship tussle at UFC 182, there has been an impassioned debate over just who is the better mixed martial artist.

Ever since the heated few weeks preceding Jon “Bones” Jones and Daniel “DC” Cormier’s first championship tussle at UFC 182, there has been an impassioned debate over just who is the better mixed martial artist. Jones’ decisive victory, his eighth consecutive light heavyweight title defense, appeared to be enough to put the final nail in the proverbial coffin of that fervent argument.

However, after numerous slip-ups outside of the cage by “Bones” and two very imposing performances by Cormier in the former champ’s absence, the debate over whom is the superior fighter slowly crept back towards a state of equilibrium.

The dispute carried on for months, with each man happily providing his two cents as to why he is the better fighter, and it all came to a sort of culmination last weekend (Sat., April 23, 2016) at UFC 197, when Jone’s fought Ovince St. Preux for the interim light heavyweight strap. Admittedly, Jones looked more mortal than he normally does in the Octagon, but he still managed to turn in a dominant five-round performance against “OSP” to secure the inherently meaningless interim title.

Though victorious, “Bones’” surprisingly ordinary performance did not go unnoticed by Cormier, who was sitting (and commentating) ringside during the main event bout.

According to “DC”, Jones’ ring rust was quite apparent, and he even went as far as to say that had he faced Jones that night, he was utterly confident that he would have sent Jones home shouldering the burden of his first legitimate pro loss, and that Jones was ‘lucky’ that he instead fought “OSP.” He was so confident that what we all witnessed was the “new Jon” that he said their newly scheduled bout at UFC 200 would be ‘light work’.

Right on cue, as expected, Jones fired back with his now-routine responses, attacking “DC’s” wrestling skills and his inability to ’embrace the grind’ in the championship rounds. But what was far more surprising was the fact that Jone’s head coach Greg Jackson, a generally reserved and seldom publicly vocal personality, voiced his own opinion in defense of Jones from Cormier’s quips.

“Jon’s one of those guys that fights to the level of his competition. When the going gets tough, he gets going for sure. I’m very confident he would have won that night because he would step up to that [Cormier’s] level. He’s one of those guys if you push him really hard he will push back…For me, we’d done so much work for Daniel, I think he still would have won that night. If you push him hard, that almost wakes him up.”

Not the most vehement of retorts, no, but that’s not really Jackson’s style. He tends to take the high (and silent) road and leave the coach-versus-fighter banter up to gentlemen like John Kavanagh and Rafael Cordeiro.

Nonetheless, if this is just a minute glimpse into the tornado before the storm that’s coming in the build-up leading to the main event at UFC 200, it’s safe to say that we’re in for quite an entertaining ride.
