Harry Potter Bad Guy Now MMA Fighter: Goyle Wins His First Fight

My favorite Gregory Goyle moment has to be when, on Malfoy’s orders, he sneaks into Harry and Ron’s train compartment and tries to steal some of their treats from the food trolly. Of course he ends up getting bitten by Ron’s pet rat, Scabbers.

Goyle used to hang around with fellow illiterate Vincent Crabbe, both serving as Malfoys’ lackeys in all eight of the Harry Potter movies. But these days he has a different profession. His real name is Josh Herdman, and he made his MMA debut on Saturday, beating Janusz Walachowski of Poland by unanimous decision.

Entertainment Weekly:

“I’ve been training traditional Japanese jujitsu for nearly five years and hold a shodan black belt,” he told Britain’s Daily Mirror.
