"It's cool that apparently I'm ranked now and stuff, but I feel like if I just keep doing the right things right and taking fights and getting better as a martial artist, they can't deny me for the title forever... [Gomi] was 3-1 in his past four fights, and he's always dangerous. So even if the people and the critics don't move me up the ranks or whatever, I still think for a personal victory, it's really good for my confidence, and I'll be even better for the next fight... Fighting guys like Gomi is just good for my name, my brand, because everybody knows who he is. Everybody tunes in when he fights. So getting a win over him just kind of cements my name in people's brain so they'll remember me. Next time I fight, hopefully they'll tune in."

-Myles Jury talks about his win over Takenori Gomi at UFC Fight Night 52 and his progression in the UFC's lightweight division at the post-fight press conference (via MMAJunkie.com).

Penick's Analysis: Jury has shown flashes of absolute brilliance in his UFC career, just as he's had some regressive performances as well. Still, even in those performances in which he hasn't looked his best, he's won, and that's the point. He's unbeaten in his career, he's won six in the UFC, and he keeps getting better. If he keeps doing what he's doing, keeps improving, keeps beating better fighters, etc., he'll work his way to a shot. Next up might be a top ten opponent, and then he can start thinking of a title run from there.
