Donald Cerrone has parted ways with longtime gym Jackson-Wink MMA ahead of his UFC Fight Night 139 showdown with Mike Perry, and to hear him tell it, it wasn’t on the best of terms.
The two fighters nearly crossed paths at UFC 226, when Perry’s original opponent, Yancy Medeiros, pulled out of the fight due to a broken rib. Both Cerrone and Perry were willing to square off then, despite Perry having recently relocated to Jackson-Wink MMA to train. Ultimately, Paul Felder stepped in and lost to Perry at UFC 226.
