The actor who portrayed Gregory Goyle in the Harry Potter films showed he didn’t need wands or magic to get the job done in the cage.
Josh Herdman, 28, made a successful debut in the mixed martial arts cage, outpointing Polish fighter Janusz Walachowski by scores of 29-28 on all 3 cards at the Rise of Champions amateur event in his home country of England on April 23.
Herdman, who had trained in jiu jitsu, says he’d like to continue in the amateur scene before seeing where his fighting career ends up. “I would like a few amateur fights first to get me started and where it goes from there, who knows?,” Herdman told On the Road with Addicted MMA.
Herdman adds that his favorite MMA fighter is Georges St Pierre and says he isn’t done with acting just yet.
“I haven’t fallen out of love with it, I still have an agent and still go for auditions. It’s just a little bit like playing the lottery for a living,” said Herdman.
Herdman isn’t the first celebrity to try out mixed martial arts. Jason David Frank, who portrayed the Green Power Ranger, has fought in MMA competitions, along with pro wrestler/actor Dave Bautista and numerous others. – Rappler.com
