Brandon Girtz is ready for Myles Jury but he’s also tired of waiting for ‘Pitbull’ to come back

Bellator 239: “Ruth vs. Amasov” takes place this weekend (Fri., Feb. 21, 2020) at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. on Paramount Network and DAZN. Homegrown Welterweight star Ed Ruth (8-1) takes on undefeated Ukrainian Yaroslav Amosov (22-0) in the main event of the evening.

Also set for the main card is a Lightweight contest pitting Brandon Girtz (16-8) against former UFC standout Myles “Fury” Jury (17-5). Changing promotions gave Jury the chance to prove he was once again a title contender, but he lost three straight rounds to Benson Henderson and took his third loss in a row in the process.

Girtz comes in having defeated promotional staple Saad Awad by decision in his last fight, but that may or may not be helpful facing a man who has beaten Takanori Gomi, Michael Johnson and Diego Sanchez just to name a few. Taking Jury for granted because he’s on a losing streak would be a foolish mistake, and Girtz is no fool.

Today Brandon Girtz talks to MMA Mania about taking advantage of the opportunity in front of him against Myles Jury and how pumped he is heading into Friday night.
