Jay Gardner: An MMA Fighter?

By Geordie Shore Fan // news // No Comments

Yep, that’s right; Geordie Shore’s Jay Gardner is set to become an MMA fighter after quitting Geordie Shore in Season 4.

When he dropped off the radar, Jay went into training to become a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter and was set to make his debut at yesterdays BAMMA 12 event until he succumbed to injury.

Jay told Sky Tyne & Wear : “It would have been a dream to have my first fight in my home town, but it’s not to be.

“Everything happens for a reason and I am hoping to now have my first fight in September.”

Personally, I think its great that Jay is following something that he is interested in, especially since he has a Kickboxing background. He’s left Geordie Shore of his own choice (much like Greg Lake) and is off doing what he is wanting to do away from the TV screens.
