Signed twice at the UFC, Jared Gooden has decided to run away from MMA.
The former UFC -Welterweight from Georgia participated seven times in the Achthoek and fights back to the Premier promotion by the regional scene after his first release in 2021.
GOODEN went 1-2 in his second UFC-Run with his last victory, an entry about Wellington Turman, who came to UFC Austin more than a year ago. GOODEN was released from the selection in October after a defeat against Chidi Njokuani.
'Nitetrain' had his 33rd MMA fight on Saturday on Shogun Fights 30 against Mahamed Aly. We didn't know much that it would be his last.

'My focus is now on her' … Why Jared Throwing will retire
Why did you go away from a sport where so many other fighters retire later in life?
One word: family.
“Me and this wonderful woman brought a nice baby girl in this world and my focus is now on her,” Gooden explained his decision to retire at 31.
“So I'm going to stop my gloves now, man. And I can't wait to let you know what I'm going to do afterwards in life.
“Thank you guys. Thank you to everyone for everything you have done for me, man. I can't say it enough. I hope you stay easy,” added Gooden.
