Jared Gordon’s team had to leave gym after visit from state troopers over coronavirus concerns

What was supposed to be a Friday morning training session turned into a brief run-in with the law for Jared Gordon and company.

Gordon was preparing to put in work at the Hard Knocks 365 gym in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., when the authorities intervened to enforce the recent restrictions on public gatherings in the state enacted to address the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The encounter was a cordial one, though Gordon was facing a possible arrest if he had decided to dig his heels in rather than relocate.

“I showed up there this morning to do some pads this morning and state troopers came in, like three straight troopers from Fort Lauderdale,” Gordon told MMA Fighting.
