After learning of Jones&#8217; arrest in Las Vegas last month for domestic battery, Winkeljohn had no choice but to tell Jones to stop drinking and to stay away from the gym until he turns his life around.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I just had a conversation with (Jones). I said, \u2018Jon, here\u2019s the deal man. You\u2019re 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\u2019s out of the gym. He\u2019s not allowed to come into the gym,&#8221; Winkeljohn said, though the coach said he is open to a reunion should Jones stop drinking and clean up his act.<\/p>\n<p>Taking to his <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonnyBones\/status\/1448376669912272901\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media<\/a> following the news that he has been kicked out of Jackson-Wink, Jones released a statement where he confirmed that he had a &#8220;heartbreaking&#8221; talk with Winkeljohn. In the statement, Jones admitted that it hurt him to hear what Winkeljohn had to say to him, but he also took a moment to thank the other coaches who stuck with him.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-396967 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-1024x444.png\" alt=\"Jon-Jones\" width=\"696\" height=\"302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-1024x444.png 1024w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-768x333.png 768w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-696x302.png 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-1068x463.png 1068w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones-969x420.png 969w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Jon-Jones.png 1292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Jon Jones: Had a heartbreaking conversation over the phone with one of my longtime coaches last night, really hurts to lose the support of someone I respect so much.
