Jon Jones on Mike Winklejohn
Jon Jones was inducted into UFC’s Hall of Fame for his legendary battle with Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 165; this wasn’t the only thing he made it in the headlines though. Jones was arrested early Friday morning for battery domestic violence and tampering with a vehicle. This isn’t Jones’ first struggle with the police and he is scheduled to make an initial court appearance on Saturday.
Jones’ former coach Mike Winkeljohn from Jackson Wink MMA Academy told Ariel Helwani that he won’t allow Jones to train with him until he gets his sh*t back together. Jones respected his decision, and then went on to train with the former double champion, Henry Cejudo, and he was really enjoying his time over there.
Jones also left alcohol and recently posted that he has completed 60 days of sobriety, but trouble seems to follow Jones everywhere he goes, his former coach Mike said some harsh things about Jones on national TV, and Jones fired back with a series of deleted Tweets.
He wrote, “Coach Wink gets on national TV and tells the world he wants the best for me, and then behind the scenes harassing the other coaches for continuing to work with me. What a miserable bastard.”
He then wrote, “What type of friend gets on national TV and airs his “brothers” dirty laundry. That was his opportunity to take a moral high ground over someone who trust in him. He didn’t give two shits about what actually happened that light. Anything anything for some publicity.”
“This man hasn’t taught the students a new technique since I met him, Jon Jones claims Mike Winkeljohn wasn’t teaching anything new
Jones then claimed he wasn’t affected by this suspension from the gym, and he was working with the exact same coaches, he wrote, “Wink suspending me from the team changed absolutely nothing for me. I’m still working with the same exact coaches on the same exact schedule we have been on over the last two years.”
“This dude somehow has found a way to run away every single one of Greg’s original fighters. I can’t think of a Jackson’s veteran that still talks with this as**hole.”
“I didn’t leave the team because I couldn’t handle a punishment. I left the gym because I wasn’t training with Wink anymore anyways. This man hasn’t taught the students a new technique since I met him.”
“If I was such a monster, he wouldn’t be still trying to monetize off me being a former student there. There’s a John Jones poster in almost every wall in that building.”
“We literally had a convicted rapist training on the team for years and now all of a sudden he has morals. Get out of there.”
