Donald Cerrone recently opened up about his rift with coach Mike Winkeljohn that seems to have been simmering for a while now.

“Loyalty is two sides,” Winkeljohn told MMA Junkie in response to Cerrone. “Cowboy is not loyal to anybody in the gym. He’s on his own. He does his own thing. He has not, from what I can remember in the last 10 years, ever helped anybody out with their own camp.
