"After seeing what he puts himself through and how he's locked in for training camp and how he goes through the process of what he does - it's kind of amazing to be a part of it and be on the inside. "I don't even get to see everything because I'm not a coach, I'm just his training partner and his friend. But to get to see his perspective on things, it helps me in the cage. It helps me come out and imagine how this fight's going to be - I could be wrong but I've accepted I'm going to bleed a little bit!" Do you think Maurice Greene will become PFL champion?

Heavyweight contender Maurice Greene is training with MMA’s greatest Jon Jones as he looks to take home $1million and the PFL world heavyweight title this season.
Greene appeared to have been eliminated back in June when he was defeated by the previous year’s champion Ante Delija in the second round of regular season fights. But an injury to third-place Marcelo Nunes saw him drafted in as the next highest-ranked contender for a back door effort at the belt.
And with Jones, who many believe to be the best fighter in the sport’s history, in his camp Greene has a new lease on life. Both men are heading to the mecca of fight sports for world title headliners as Jones defends his UFC title in November against Stipe Miocic after Greene takes on Renan Ferreira tomorrow night.
But the ‘Crochet Boss’ is putting more stock in the belt and its legacy than the massive cash prize, which would also be a game changer for his young family.
