UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Sidney Outlaw continued his bounce-back from his only loss in the past five years with another big win Friday. Outlaw (16-4 MMA, 4-1 BMMA) looked like he was going to grind out a decision over Myles Jury (19-6 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) in their lightweight fight on the main card at Bellator 261, but he stayed after a finish and tapped Jury with a rear-naked choke with 16 seconds left in the fight. After the win, Outlaw said the victory over a name like Jury, on the heels of his win over Adam Piccolotti in August 2020, should mean he’s earned an opponent with an even bigger name. The victory gave Outlaw two straight wins after a December 2019 knockout loss to former Bellator champion Michael Chandler. Bellator 261 took place Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
