Myles Jury is an impressive 6-1 in his UFC career as a lightweight, but after a recent loss to Donald Cerrone decided to drop to featherweight:
The already stacked UFC featherweight division just added another contender to its mix, as top-10 ranked lightweight Myles Jury announced Monday that he is dropping down to 145 pounds.
Jury (15-1) is currently the No. 8 ranked 155-pounder in the UFC. He joined the promotion in 2012 following a stint on The Ultimate Fighter 15 and quickly found success, winning his first six fights inside the Octagon. His run included decision victories over Michael Johnson and Diego Sanchez, as well as a blistering knockout of Pride legend Takanori Gomi.
Jury is currently ranked eighth in the lightweight divisional rankings, but we’ll have to wait and see how his featherweight debut goes to see if he starts in the top fifteen or not.
