After training with Gordon Ryan, Maurice Greene believes Renan Ferreira won't have any surprises to offer him on the ground.
Greene feels he has an edge over Ferreira before their clash in the Professional Fighters League playoffs on Aug. 18. To better prepare for his upcoming fight, Greene had the chance to attend some classes with grappling wizard Ryan, who thought a helpful series of techniques in jiu-jitsu that will likely be valuable for his assignment. While talking with Sherdog, Greene emphasized his proficiency on the mat and how people often overlook it.
The Glory kickboxing alum also acknowledged the height and reach difference with his six-foot-eight-inches tall opponent, but he's not concerned as he has faced taller opponents before. Also, he trains with current Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder“[Ryan] just taught us some real useful series — is what I'd call it — a series. What he happened to be teaching was something that will prove to be very useful for me next Friday night if we get in the jiu-jitsu realm.
