A professional since 2015, Gooden has also competed for Legacy Fighting Alliance and Titan Fighting Championships.

Background

When Jared was 16 years old, he came across Matt Hughes and BJ Penn while flipping channels at his dad's house. He fell in love with the sport after watching the fight. A few years later, Jared saw a MMA fight poster come up on his Facebook feed and emailed the address that appeared on it. He would get a reply from the promoter, David Oblas, asking for his gym, length of training time and MMA record, all of which Jared did not have. David then sent him to a nearby gym run by Phillipe Gentry instead. He walked into Coach Phillipe's gym and started training at 17 years old on June 2, 2011.{{Cite web|title=The Rise of Jared Gooden - SBG Atlanta|url=https://sbgatlanta.com/the-rise-of-jared-gooden/|access-date=2021-07-31|language=en-US|author=Jim Sheppard|date=August 15, 2018}}
