In a sense, Jack Marshman and the British military are on the same page.
Marshman raised plenty of eyebrows in the lead-up to his most recent fight at UFC London when he revealed that he was competing at the event without the approval of his army employers. On the positive side, he went on to win a split decision against fellow Welsh middleweight John Phillips to halt a two-fight skid; on the negative side, he got a serious slap on the wrist from his superiors.
Appearing on The MMA Hour on Monday, Marshman said he had received a “formal warning” from the army for not following their instructions and that another one this year could result in him being discharged.
