Jared Gooden (born December 5, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Background
When Jared was 15 years old, he came across Matt Hughes and BJ Penn while flipping channels at my dad’s house. He fell in love with the sport after watching the fight. A few year later, Jared saw a MMA fight poster come up on his Facebook feed and emailed the address that appeared on it. He would get a reply from the promoter, David Oblas, asking for his gym, length of training time and MMA record, all off which Jared did not have. David then sent him to a nearby gym run by Phillipe Gentry instead. He walked into Coach Phillipe’s gym and started training at 17 years old on June 2nd of 2011.[2]
