One UFC star went AWOL from the British Army in order to fight at the UFC on ESPN+ 5 event.
That star is Jack Marshman, who beat John Phillips in a middleweight bout on the main card by split decision. This event (also known as UFC London) took place on Saturday, March 16, 2019 at The O2 Arena in London, England.
Following the fight, the prospect made some interesting comments including potentially getting into trouble with his other job as a British army paratrooper.
While speaking with the media after the fight, Marshman revealed that he skipped out on his military duties to fight. In military terms, he went AWOL.
”I’ve literally gotta work that out with the Army,” he said (H/T to MMAMania). “Legally I’m contracted to the army. They sort of told me that I wasn’t fighting this weekend on Thursday, so I was packing my bags and running away like. How did I work it out with the army? We will find out on Monday won’t we?I’ll work it out with them,” he said. “They will see what they want to do, you can’t be employed by two people at the same time, if you understand.”
”I am leaving the army in November so I’ll be able to do this full-time. I was going to anyway, I will have done my 12 years, I want to get my half pension so when I’m punch drunk and in a wheelchair I’ll have that to fall back on. Not a lot of people know I am a full-time paratrooper. This is my hobby,” Marshman said.
