Myles Jury on critics: Everyone thinks ‘they know something about fighting’

Myles Jury says everybody has a fight or flight response and so everybody thinks they are capable of coaching world caliber fighters.

Everybody knows what it is like: You’re watching fights with some friends — probably a Conor McGregor card because that is the only time your pals seem to care. The fighter in red gloves has his opponent pressed against the fence. “Why doesn’t he just tickle him?” blurts out one friend. “I’d totally punch him in the boob, like this,” shouts another.

Jury was a top-tier prospect in the UFC, amassing a mammoth 15-0 record with wins over Takanori Gomi, Diego Sanchez and Michael Johnson.
