DUBLIN – Benson Henderson didn’t take much notice of Myles Jury when they shared a card under the UFC banner more than six years ago. On Friday, though, they will fight each other in the Bellator 227 main event. In April 2013, Henderson (27-8 MMA, 4-3 BMMA) made what would be his final UFC lightweight title defense when he edged Gilbert Melendez in the main event of UFC on FOX 7. That same night, a then-undefeated Jury (17-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) made his third octagon appearance, scoring a highlight-reel knockout of Ramsey Nijem. There weren’t many reasons for Jury to be on Henderson’s radar at that point
