Jared Gordon detailed his drug history, revealing he was caught with heroin at Donald Cerrone’s ranch.
Following a loss against rising UK contender Paddy Pimblett at UFC 282, the history of Gordon’s battle with addiction has never been more prevalent.
Although, there was a lot of respect between the two, showing lots of support to each other around the fight.
Pimblett actually said he wants to do some charity work with Gordon following their clash.
Recently, whilst on the Believe You Me podcast, the 34-year-old described getting caught with heroin at Donald Cerrone’s ranch.

He said: “One time I was out at Donald Cerrone’s ranch, (Paul) Felder was fighting Ross Pearson, and I was a similar style, shorter, stocky, the way we move.
“So I was asked to come out for him, and I was shooting dope at the ranch.
“Everybody was there, I was shooting heroin.”
Afterwards, the New Yorker detailed how the other fighters at the ranch caught him.
He said: “I was passed out in my room on the bed, and I think Jonavin (Webb) came to me and was like, ‘Hey, we need to talk to you inside.’
“When I shot up, I had left my toiletry bag on top of the toilet, with all my dope and needles in there, and I just, like rolled out of the bathroom, and fell on the bed, and passed out.
“Obviously, someone went to take a piss and they saw it.
“So they’re all sitting there in a circle, it was like Intervention.
“They’re like, ‘Hey man, we found this.’
“I was so embarrassed, it was such an embarrassing moment.”
However, he revealed that he was not left in the cold by his fellow fighters.
Instead, they helped him, particularly Donald Cerrone.
He said: “They helped me, Cerrone knew someone who had an issue with opiates, and they gave me some Suboxone to come off of.
“And I actually stopped using it for the time I was there.
“I got off, and it was really tough obviously… I was clean, and when I got home I relapsed.”
