Gooden is an MMA veteran who will be ruing his weight miss as he has been given a second chance in the UFC after being released from the promotion just two years prior.
Despite missing by a wide margin, the 29-year-old should be given some leeway from fans as he took the fight on extremely short notice. Earlier this week, it was announced that Abubakar Nurmagomedov had pulled out, giving 'Nite Train' his chance at redemption in the company.
His opponent, Carlston Harris, has proven to be a tough customer throughout his short time with the UFC and will be looking to punish his opponent as he attempts to force himself back into the winners' column. The Guyanese athlete is 2-1 in the promotion, with his only loss coming against rising superstar Shavkat Rakhmonov.
