NEW YORK – Jared Gordon never competed at Madison Square Garden until UFC 295, but he was quite acquainted with the venue.
Like many of his fellow New Yorkers, Gordon (20-6 MMA, 8-5 UFC) feels an attachment to the place the Knicks and Rangers play, one of the most prolific sporting arenas in the world.
The ties are stronger than that, however. Gordon is a former heroin addict. He used to shoot up in Penn Station, which is attached to Madison Square Garden.
