UFC veteran Xavier Foupa-Pokam became just the second man to defeat British middleweight Jack Marshman at BAMMA’s latest event in Birmingham, England today, by handing the vet a split decision loss.

The victory returned the French fighter to the winner’s column, after losing by UD to Claudio Henrique da Silva at a Super Fight League card in October, while Marshmann was coming off a submission win over Andrew Punshon in September.

The only other fighter to defeat Marshman in 13 pro bouts is UFC middleweight Tom Watson.

Other action at BAMMA 11 saw Tom Breese and Steven Ray lay claim to the promotion’s British welterweight and lightweight championships respectively.
