Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone will no longer be training at JacksonWink MMA. Speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience MMA Show this week, Cerrone explained why, citing a growing distaste for the Albuquerque gym’s coaching staff, and the fact that they agreed to train his upcoming opponent “Platinum” Mike Perry.  This very public falling out between Cerrone and JacksonWink has the MMA community divided. Some fans and pundits are siding with the gym, while others are steadfastly on team Cowboy. File former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Miesha Tate into the latter category.

It’s been a wild and dramatic past couple of days for the members and former members of the world-renowned JacksonWink MMA gym. And it’s unlikely to ease up now. Earlier this week on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone went in deep on the tension that had built up between him and his longtime home base in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

On Wednesday afternoon, on the latest episode of the JRE MMA show, perennial UFC lightweight and welterweight contender Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone buried his long-time team, Jackson-Wink MMA. Cerrone unleashed particularly incendiary comments about coach Mike Winkeljohn, and wrestling coach Chad Smith. One of the first people to jump to the aid of coaches Winkeljohn and Smith was UFC welterweight veteran and Jackson-Wink staple Diego Sanchez. In his first statement on the issue, which was released Wednesday night, Diego Sanchez defended the gym and assured that he would happily fight his former teammate “Cowboy” if Mike Perry doesn’t make it to their November 10 fight in Denver.

But I went to talk to Greg [Jackson] and [Mike Winkeljohn] and say hey, ‘This guy’s brand new to the gym, he’s only been here one camp, a couple of months,’

When two fighters train under the same roof are set to fight each other, there can often be some drama to follow. And this isn’t the first time we’ve seen that.

UFC welterweight veteran Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is one of the most fearless men in all of MMA and he has made that very clear over the years. Whether it be from his in the cage antics and frequency to take fights or all of his crazy non-fighting related activities and hobbies, Cowboy has had a crazy life.

On November 10, in the co-main event of the UFC’s anticipated return to Denver, Colorado, “Platinum” Mike Perry will step into the cage with fellow fan favorite Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. This fight comes with an interesting storyline built in, as it was just weeks ago that Perry and Cowboy were training together at Jackson-Wink MMA in Albuquerque. In fact, Cowboy even took Cerrone out for a bit of outdoor fun.

Donald Cerrone — better known as “Cowboy” — is one of the most beloved fighters in the UFC. His newest side project is only going to boost his reputation among the fans and his fellow fighters. In a Tuesday night Instagram post, Cowboy announced plans to launch an amateur fight series called Cowboy Fight Series. These events, Cowboy explains, will give amateur fighters a platform on which to grow their skills and their reputations, and in some cases, earn professional contracts with top regional promotions. Cowboy will also invite some of these amateurs to live with him on the BMF ranch, where they’ll have the opportunity to train and develop amongst some of the sport’s very best fighters.

On Thursday morning, Donald Cerrone took to Instagram with a post that seemed to imply that he’s returning to the UFC lightweight division after a lengthy stint at welterweight. The one drawback of Cerrone’s famously busy schedule is that it means he’s already fought many of the lightweight division’s top players. The good news is that there are still a few lightweight stars Cerrone has yet to meet in the cage, including several that have risen to prominence during his sojourn in the welterweight division.

Donald Cerrone’s first four fights in the UFC welterweight division could not have gone better, as he delivered decisive stoppage wins over game foes in Alex Oliveira, Patrick Cote, Rick Story, and Matt Brown. Unfortunately, his subsequent time in the division hasn’t gone as he hoped, as he’s sandwiched a knockout defeat of Yancy Medeiros between knockout losses to Jorge Masvidal and Darren Till, and decision defeats to Robbie Lawler and Leon Edwards. Having gone 1-4 in his last five welterweight bouts, it sounds as though “Cowboy” is now plotting a return to the lightweight division, where his UFC career began. He hinted at this lightweight return in a Thursday morning post to Instagram.

Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone is one of the most widely adored fighters in MMA, but don’t count his UFC Singapore opponent Leon Edwards among his fans.

Heading into his very first UFC main event, Britain’s Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards isn’t lacking any confidence as he prepares to take on the seasoned veteran, Donald Cerrone. Edwards hasn’t lost since December 2015 when he fought a fellow rising contender in Kamaru Usman. Now riding high on a sneaky impressive five-fight win streak, Edwards is ready to extend that to six with the biggest name he’ll have fought to date.
