MMA Junkie posted this clip on Twitter. In the clip, we see Jones giving instructions to Greene during a round break. Jones says, “Push off on his hips. Don’t be afraid to push off cause you don’t gotta let him go hip to hip with you when you get that overhand in. You know what the takedown he wants to do. That’s going to be the same takedown that he wants.”
Jones added, “He had a good round on top. He’s probably going to want to try and get another takedown. So when you’re in a clinch, you got to know that, that’s what he wants.”
