      This means that if your fighter stands in Southpaw (the opposite stance, see Southpaw vs. Orthodox to understand more), it will be the opposite punch hand.

        5. From the Clinch

        It's important to know that the takedowns below this section can only be done when your fighter is in the clinch.

        You are still able to do all of the takedowns mentioned before this section, in the clinch.

        To get your opponent in the clinch, get close to your opponent and hit:

        • RB + X (Lightly tap X, if you don't lightly tap it it will throw a big punch instead) - In an orthodox stance

        6. Judo Hip Toss

        Must be in a clinch position.

        Xbox

        • RB + A

        You'll want to ensure that you're not moving your left stick when hitting this combination of buttons.

        If you hit RB + A while making your opponent move backward (moving the left stick toward them), this takedown will become an inside trip.

        You can also do this move when you have your opponent against the cage.
