Jury: ‘I’m improving like crazy’
Myles Jury: “The reason I’m improving so much is because I have a great team that prepares me, great training partners who get me ready.”
Myles Jury didn’t even win his season of the Ultimate Fighter, Season 15, lossing to Al Iaquinta in the semi-finals by split decision. But Jury has been the most successful product of the season this far, having won six fights in a row and will next be fighting in the co-main event slot of UFC 182. Jury attributes his success to how fast he is improving in all of skills:
“I’m not a rush to get a title shot. I’m not going crazy waiting for one. I have no control of if I’m fighting for a title. But I tell you what – If I keep beating guys like Gomi, Sanchez and Cerrone, you better bet I’m going to call for a title shot.”
In the end, whether he’s arrogant or simply confident, Jury’s reason for being that way has to do with his rapid improvement in the training room and Octagon. “I definitely feel like I’m improving like crazy,” he concludes.
“The reason I’m improving so much is because I have a great team that prepares me, great training partners who get me ready. I also have an open mind and I’m always trying to learn. Evolution is the key. You’ve got to try and evolve and add skills.”
