Jon Jones has been on a very difficult stretch these past couple of months. The former UFC champion was arrested for Domestic Violence and was subsequently kicked out of his gym in New Mexico.

His striking coach, Mike Winkeljohn, went on The MMA Hour to explain the decision. He felt it was best for the gym and for the UFC heavyweight.

“I just had a conversation with him,” Mike Winkeljohn said. “I said, ‘Jon, here’s the deal, man. You’re like my little brother. You have to stop drinking and fix these things for a certain period of time until you come back to the gym.’ So at the moment, he’s out of the gym. He’s not allowed to come in the gym because I feel I had to do that. Ignoring it and expecting different results is insanity.”

Jon Jones was forced to train out of his garage, not something UFC champions do normally. Now it appears he has found a new gym, and it's associated with his former head coach, Greg Jackson.

“I want to sincerely thank Gym owner/coach Nick Urso and everyone at the original Jackson’s MMA program for allowing me to call their dojo my new home base,” Jones wrote on social media. “I was so proud to see the condition of the gym, it was so well taken care of and the energy felt amazing exactly the way it was before. It has wonderful memories of my time learning from GSP, Sugar Evans, The dean of mean and so many more. I won my first world title out of this gym. I am grateful to have this comfortable place for both my local and visiting training partners to come enjoy. The best is yet to come!”

Jon Jones now trains with former two-division champion Henry Cejudo at Fight Ready. The UFC is still waiting to find out more about his case before deciding what to do with him.
