MMA Junkie<\/a> recently, Jury weighed in on the differences between the UFC and Bellator. The main difference, he says, is the level of control the two promotions have over their fighters.<\/p>\n\u201cFor Bellator, the main difference is control,\u201d Jury said. \u201cThe UFC are control freaks. They like to control everything from what you wear to when you show up to fight week to how you basically present yourself. If you\u2019re saying bad things, you\u2019re going to get cut. Basically, they just love to control.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Bellator it\u2019s a little more relaxed. They let you come in and do your own thing. They just want you to show up, go out there, and fight well. There\u2019s no crazy fight week stuff. It\u2019s just very more relaxed at Bellator. I like that, man, because I\u2019m a fighter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jury says he never enjoyed the experience of being controlled by the UFC\u2014being told what to wear and how to act\u2014and is enjoying the relative freedom of being a Bellator fighter.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a fighter,\u201d Jury said. \u201cI don\u2019t work in an office. I don\u2019t like people telling me what I need to wear, coming backstage telling me, \u2018You\u2019re doing this at this time.\u2019 Basically, treat me like an employee, man. I\u2019m a fighter. I\u2019m the product. When I go out there and fight, I\u2019m the man. I\u2019m the one going out there doing it. I don\u2019t care what the cameraman says or what time they think we need to be ready and all this. I don\u2019t want to hear any of that. I\u2019m a product. I\u2019m the one going out there and putting on the show \u2013 me and my fellow fighters.\u201d<\/p>\n
