The 31-year-old who lives in Wolverhampton has only been competing in mixed martial arts (MMA) for the past seven years. You see, Jai Herbert is also an elite professional athlete in mixed martial arts while working a full-time job. Not for a casual workout, but for a full-on training session in Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-jitsu or a cardio session – (depending on what day it is). Jai has been a scaffolder for the past fourteen years, working all over Britain.Ĭome 5 pm, Jai is back at home managing a quick cup of coffee before heading out again, this time heading off to the gym for a good 3 to 4-hour session.
