Overview
- Winkeljohn, in interviews published Friday, said Greg Jackson will miss Josh Hokit’s June 14 White House bout because of family issues.
- He added that Jackson remains involved by breaking down Derrick Lewis’s tendencies and shaping the game plan from afar.
- The coach said he is nervous Hokit might chase cheers and urged a cautious approach to avoid one-shot knockout danger and long-term brain damage.
- The matchup came right after UFC 327 in Miami, where President Trump told Dana White he wanted Lewis on the White House card and Hokit was booked on the spot.
- Lewis holds the UFC record for knockouts, and Winkeljohn cited Lewis’s 2018 finish of Marcin Tybura as a warning about how fast one punch can flip a fight.
