August 2013

Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn pay homage to hit drama television series Breaking Bad as part of an exclusive, themed Fighters Only photo shoot. Why? Because the parallels between perhaps mixed martial arts’ most successful trainers and one of the US’s most successful TV shows are surreal. MMA’s off-the-wall fight scientists and TV’s unlikeliest drug-cooking duo both ply their trades locked away in the sparse, dry surroundings of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and both dedicate their time to producing industry-shaking products. Is that where the similarities end? We explain inside this issue’s sprawling eight-page interview with coaches Jackson and Winkeljohn.
