Chandler Jones will be dipping into the world of mixed martial arts this offseason.
The Patriots defensive end joined the Felger and Mazz Show on Wednesday afternoon to discuss his offseason plans. Among them was a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he'll try mixed martial arts training for the first time with brother, Jon "Bones" Jones, Ultimate Fighting Championship's current Light Heavyweight Champion.
Jones said the things he learns about muay tai and jiu jistsu could help him as a defensive end.
"That definitely helps you," Jones said. "Jon has a boxing coach, a mui tai coach and a jiu jitsu coach. That helps a lot when you're tugging, playing in the trenches. My biggest thing is I try to get my hands inside before blockers touch me so if I work on my hand speed, that'll be a great aspect to add to my game."
