The Harry Potter movies - to say nothing of the books and empire, generally - are one of the most successful franchises in the history of cinema. One of the actors who appeared in all eight films as Gregory Goyle is Josh Herdman. Now 28, Herdman recently won his amateur mixed martial arts (MMA) debut in London, England, defeating Janusz Walachowski via unanimous decision.
But just how did a staple of the Harry Potter series end up fighting in MMA and where does he want to go? Herdman was a guest on SiriusXM's 'The Luke Thomas Show' last week and discussed how he got into MMA, dealing with life as a child actor turned fighter, if he'd accept an offer from the UFC should they come calling and more.
