Jack Marshman faced some backlash from the British army for deciding to ignore their warning and fight at UFC London.

Prior to his fight at UFC London earlier this month, UFC middleweight Jack Marshman revealed the army was trying to prevent him from fighting. That didn’t work, and understandably the Welshman faced some backlash from the military.

Marshman, who won a split decision against John Philips at the O2 Arena in London, said he received a ‘formal warning’ from the army when he appeared on The MMA Hour earlier this week.

“I’m leaving anyway, I’ve given my year’s notice because on the fourth of November that will be my 12-year point, so that’s me signing off now,” Marshman said.
