The war of words between Mike Winkeljohn and Donald Cerrone is not over just yet.
Winkeljohn on Sunday took the lead in the fight against cancer, and he called it "cancer" that had been removed from the Jackson Wink MMA gym and reacted to Mike Perry's submission loss at UFC Fight Night 139.
Repeating many of the same statements he made after Cerrone, he was running a "puppy mill" at the famed gym and choosing money over team loyalty, Winkeljohn cut a sarcastic and biting selfie video in defense of his actions (via Instagram).
Here is what Winkeljohn said in its entirety:
Where was Cowboy Cerrone last 10 years helping others at the gym? Nowhere to be found. He did not come to our classes, did not even use Greg Jackson's last two fight camps. When he came, he would grab sparring partners, and then he would take those sparring partners back to his ranch, where he paid for fun, free (expletive). Those guys would like to go there, and they'd lose. Hmm.
"Any gym owner would tell you cancer has been removed. It's removed. The gym has no drama. It's a happy place. I'm a happy guy. With that being said, I really wish Mike Perry had not taken 'Cowboy' down. Anyway, if you have fighter experience, and Jon Jones, Holly Holm, Michelle Waterson, Devin Clark, Bevon Lewis, John Condit, Siyar (Bahadurzada), John Dodson and so many others – you're more than welcome.
"If you're one of those guys that swings on Donald Cerrone's you-know-what, that's weak and weird."
Cerrone got in another dig at his ex-coach after tapping Perry with an armbar in the co-headliner of Saturday's card at Pepsi Center in Denver, recounting his grandmother's parting shot at Winkeljohn.
"My grandma went and told Winkeljohn, 'You should have a bet on the dinosaur,'" Cerrone said. "He knows what he did. It's all over money, too. That's the worst part. Looks like he's still not getting paid, is he? "
Cerrone (34-11 MMA, 21-8 UFC) contends Winkeljohn thing to corner Perry (12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) – a recent addition to Jackson Wink – rather than stay neutral when the prospect of Saturday's fight first arose. Cerrone vowed never to reconcile with the coach and put his business practices on blast in a lengthy interview with Joe Rogan's UFC commentator and podcaster.
Talking to reporters during his media week obligations, the mention of Winkeljohn's name is quite a string of expletives from Cerrone, who accepts the offer of training and training teammates at his own facility, the BMF Ranch, which is less than one hour's drive from Jackson Wink.
Winkeljohn fired back in an interview with MMAjunkie after Cerrone's interview with Rogan. He did not respond to a request for this week when Cerrone again attacked him.
Cerrone plans to return to the lightweight division and claims to have a potential opponent set. With his win over Perry, he set the record for most wins in company with 21. He also earned his 14th performance bonus.
