AUSTIN, Texas – Jared Gordon has spoken candidly about the turbulent times he’s faced before making it to the UFC. Turbulent, in fact, seems like too weak of a word to describe a battle with drug addiction that involved three overdoses and 10 rehab stints. In December, Gordon recently told “ The MMAHour ,” he reached the two-year anniversary of his sobriety. He got to celebrate it almost exactly six months after his octagon debut. From nearly dying in a motel room to racking up two dominant UFC wins – a knockout of Michel Quinones and a decision over Hacran Dias that many believed should’ve been a finish – things have definitely taken a huge turn in Gordon’s life.
