He would risk his title shot to take this dangerous fight. It's a good fight though

I didn't think we'd see this fight because they're both training out of Jackson's now.

Really? Jackson's MMA is really quite good about putting friendship aside and fighting.

Helwani confirmed that the fight is happening, and that Jackson would be cornering Arlovski against Overeem.

@skelliher So does that mean Winklejohn will corner Overeem?

No. Basically JacksonWink MMA is on Arlovski's side, which was predictable. Overeem trains there ... he's never been known as a team player.

@mikeyg: I can't think of any examples of two Jackson's MMA guys fighting each other in the UFC. All I can recall is the Jones/Evans drama.

The only one that springs to mind is Condit vs GSP.  Although Jackson's wasn't GSP's main gym, of course, although he trained there fairly regularly

Ehh GSP kinda stopped though didn't he? I kind of thought Greg knew all of GSP's secrets going into the fight with Condit.  I heard the entire month leading up to the fight they all participated in leaving metal bars stamped with hieroglyphics, needles, other various things in his mailbox to remind him of his **** abduction sequence Jackson whoopsie doo-wop'd him with. Strangely, Overemphasized-Overeem was involved.  Long before he ever trained there.

@mikeyg:

The difference is that Reem/Arlovski would be the first (of those guys listed above) to fight while both guys call Jacks-Wink their main gym. Evans, Mir, and Browne had all left Jacks-Wink prior to their fight. GSP of course was training out of Tri-Star.

Well guess who was corning GSP against Condit...My point still stands that Jackson guys or former Jackson guys are usually okay with fighting.

Who? I don't know for sure who was. I thought Firas cornered GSP, Winkeljohn cornered Condit, and Jackson didn't corner either.

Guys that use to fight at a MMA gym, then fight current members of that said gym is not that rare. Your point that current Jackson-Wink MMA guys being okay with fighting other current members in the UFC doesn't stand. Other than this fight, you can't bring up any fights where two current, definitive members fought.

I'm pretty sure that in the light of the Jones/Shad fiasco and since Hamilton, Arlovski and Browne were already there when Reem signed they just told him, cool, come over, but if you get set to fight one of our guys we're coaching them for that fight.

Reem is a business-first kind of guy, I don't think he cares.

Browne has since become a non-issue.
