Gregory Goyle's come a long way since Hogwarts!

Josh Herdman, the actor who played Draco Malfoy's righthand man in all eight Harry Potter movies, made his amateur debut as an MMA cage fighter this weekend, defeating his Polish opponent Janusz Walachowski at the City Pavillion in London.

"I've been training traditional Japanese jujitsu for nearly five years and hold a shodan black belt," Herdman, 28, told the U.K.'s Mirror. "It's raw, exciting and unpredictable. I find it more interesting than boxing although I appreciate the beauty and art in boxing. It also made sense to move onto MMA because of my jujitsu training."
