Jon Jones blasts Winklejohn: We had a convicted rapist on the team for years, now he has morals?

The feud between Jon Jones and his former coach Mike Winkeljohn intensified this evening with the former UFC light heavyweight champion going off against the trainer in a series of Tweets.

Jones was sensationally booted from the Jackson Winkeljohn MMA Academy by Winkeljohn after Jones was charged with domestic battery in September. Since leaving that gym Jones has worked with Greg Jackson and Brandon Gibson off site and also joined up with Henry Cejudo’s Fight Ready gym.

“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,” wrote Jones to begin his salvo.
