Bellator MMA is back in Dublin, and is splitting the night's fights officially into two events. Bellator 227 will air tape-delayed while Bellator Dublin will air live, and one headliner on each show has missed weight.
The main event of Bellator 227 sees Benson Henderson (156) welcome Myles Jury (156.2)* to the promotion at lightweight. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight champ "Smooth" is riding a three-fight winning streak, with his last win coming by split verdict over Adam Piccolotti. "Fury" is on a two-fight losing streak after losing to Chad Mendes and Andre Fili, leading to his release from the UFC.
