UFC lightweight Jared Gordon has recently announced a 24-hour helpline for those struggling with their mental wellbeing.
Gordon is no stranger to hardship. Before making his way into the UFC, ‘Flash’ struggled with debilitating drug addiction, something for which he is still in long-term recovery for. His drug habit severely impacted all areas of his life. By 23, he was homeless and addicted to heroin.
Gordon’s initial recovery was undone following an orbital bone injury during a fight. The pain medication he was prescribed led to a full-blown relapse. In 2015, ‘Flash’ was legally dead for two minutes following an overdose.
In the years since, he has been very vocal in using his platform as a fighter to raise awareness for mental health and addiction issues.

The result was rife with controversy as many believed Gordon had done more than enough to earn the victory. ‘Flash’ himself has echoed similar sentiments, believing his performance outclassed Pimblett on the night.
Gordon is now 2-2 in his last four fights and will look to bounce back in April when he butts heads with Bobby Green.
