Former "Harry Potter" star Josh Herdman wins MMA debut

[Frank23]

Josh Herdman, who played Gregory Goyle in the Harry Potter series, won his MMA debut.

What are your thoughts on this?

Good on the lad.

 

[Clippy]

He probably got picked on for being in a Harry Potter movie and it drove him to kick some ass

 

[mbach4307]

Never saw the movies so that's irrelevant. He should fight Johnny from the "Karate Kid"

 

[PancraseForever]

Is "expelliarmus" a legal MMA technique?

Guy has already achieved some interesting things very early in life.

 

[ShinkanPo]

Mm

 

[warriorfan808]

Good on him.

 

[WarKO]

Harry Potter stars should not be allowed in MMA

Sherdog needs to get a photo of him.

Good for him, he was a big kid in the movies. Out of Draco Malfoy 2 cronies, I guess he is doing better than the kid who played Vincent Crabb;

Poor guy was always in and out of rehab (he was allegedly on cocaine most of the time when they filmed the last 3 movies), which is why some of his scenes were given to other Slytherins, like Blaise Zabini in the last 3 vs 3 stand off (in the books it was Crabb instead of him).

Growing up reading HP and going to every movie premiere kinda stuck random facts like that, all of them completely useless... but good for Goyle, let's watch that amateur fight...

He looks much tougher with the shaved head. I didn't know he was interested in MMA.

 

[5H3RD0G]

He obviously cheated and used some form of magic.

Josh "Pearson" Herdman.

Jokes aside, awesome!

 

[Threadstarter]

Everyone wants to be a fighter these days.

 

[Richard Fannin]

I hope he gets a badass nickname like "The Real Death Eater", "The Pure-Blooded Bloody Baron", "The Slytherin Beater", or "Cruciatus Goyle" \o/

And that he walks out to the Voldemort theme dressed like a Death Eater.

Hopefully his chin improved though:

Too bad Forrest Griffin is not from the same generation, a real Slytherin/Gryffindor fight, with the loser having to get a tattoo of the other House emblem à la Rich Franklin vs Forrest infamous bet ^^

He's already one upped CM Punk. What a fraud. CM Punk has no talent in MMA. It's clear as day. Yet this guy. An actor. He's actually a decent fighter. Then again this actor has youth on his side. While CM Punk will be 38 by the time he fights if ever.

 

[Cid]

Hahahaha.

Fitting that a guy with a starwars AV posts this. So Sherdog.

 

[Andrey Kamensky]

This is awesome! the UFC sould sign him right away and finally give CM Punk a fight.
