Myles Madison Jury[4] (born October 31, 1988) is an American mixed martial artist. He is currently signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, competing in the featherweight division. He is a Black Belt in Jury Jiu Jitsu and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

Background

Jury was born in Hazel Park, Michigan and was raised in a broken home, as his parents divorced when he was two years old causing Jury to live with his father who was a roofer. Jury began wrestling in the seventh grade at Beecher Junior High in Hazel Park, MI and demonstrated his grappling talents early, going 12-2 in his first year. Jury then began training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu at the age of 13, being taken under the wing of Professor Don Richard. From there, Jury transitioned into MMA when he was 14 and had his first fight when he was 15. Jury later moved to nearby Fenton, Michigan with his mother and step-father, a mechanic. Jury attended Fenton High School, where he won the district championship and received All-State honors in his senior year.[5] Jury then attended Oakland Community College, but stopped to focus more on training.[6]

In his first five years as a fighter he amassed a record of 9-0, with all of his wins coming in the first round. Fury earned his black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Professor Don Richard (who is a black belt under Master Caique).[2] From there he started his own MMA Affiliate system teaching wrestling, striking, and jiu-jitsu for MMA; Jury Jiu Jitsu.
