Former UFC featherweight Myles Jury recently signed with Bellator and will be put into headliner status right away.
Jury only signed with the Santa Monica-based promotion a couple of days ago and appearing on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Monday, revealed he would headline Bellator 227 against Benson Henderson in a lightweight contest.
“I’m happy to continue my MMA journey with Bellator,” Jury said in a statement. “I’m excited to return to work against a guy like Benson [Henderson] and immediately make an impact in Bellator’s lightweight division. I’m only 30 years old and still believe that my best years are ahead of me.”
