At Bellator 227, former UFC Lightweight Champion Benson Henderson will face former UFC fighter, Myles Jury.

The fight is huge for a number of reasons, not the least of which is, this will by Myles Jury's promotional debut in Bellator. It was announced in July of this year that Jury had signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator.

Wanting to make his name in the company, he will face Henderson in what is sure to be a battle of epic proportions. At this point, both men need a win in this fight.

While Henderson has been in Bellator for some time now, he is yet to win a Championship despite multiple attempts. He lost the Bellator Welterweight Championship fight against Andrey Koreshkov. He returned to Lightweight and defeated Patricio Freire and got a Lightweight Championship fight.

Unfortunately, it was not to be, as Michael Chandler defeated him. He lost another fight after that to Patricky Freire.

Since then, Henderson has picked up 3 wins, and a win here might get him another shot at the title.

On the other side of things, Jury lost his last two fights in the UFC. A win here will allow him to start his Bellator career on a really positive note, having defeated a big name.
