Myles Jury’s Bellator debut is official.
He is set to meet former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson in the Bellator 227 main event on Sept. 27 in Dublin, Ireland, the promotion announced Monday. Jury first announced the pairing on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.
After a seven-year stint in the UFC, Jury signed with Bellator earlier this week. Jury enters the Viacom-backed promotion riding a two-fight skid, most recently falling short to Andre Fili. Jury, 30, went 8-4 in the Octagon. He most recently competed as a featherweight, but is moving back up to 155 pounds for his Bellator debut.
