Jared Gordon grew up in New York City, where he grew fond of street fighting and getting into trouble. Already being a troubled youth, he went to a summer camp as a teenager, where he was molested by a counselor. This mental scar stuck with him into adulthood, and was a main component that caused his drug addiction. Jared struggled with addiction through his pre-UFC career, and at one point was using drugs directly outside of Madison Square Garden, and in just a few years, he'd be fighting in that same iconic arena.
