Xavier Foupa-Pokam: ''It's punishment time''
By far the most experienced Warrior on the fight card for the upcoming AD Warriors 2 event is Xavier Foupa-Pokam from France. Xavier nicknamed ''Professor X'' just turned 33 a couple of days ago and will have a chance to bestow himself the unique present – victory in the ADW ring.
Foupa-Pokam is an extremely athletic middleweight that stands 185 cm tall. He's an UFC, Cage Rage veteran and Muay-Thai specialist, who is also dangerous on the ground. He carries a professional MMA record of 30-20 with 17 (T)KOs and 8 submissions. Nearly 90% of his wins were with a stoppage.
''When I come to a fight, my obsession is to win before the bell rings.'', Xavier put it plain and simple.
Member of the Snake Team likes to strike and he's good at it. With 17 (T)KO's in his professional career he's the most deadly Warrior on the card. It will be interesting to see how he'll match with Doroftei who's a submission specialist (9 submission wins in his 16 professional fights).
Xavier started his MMA career under the patronage of Cyrille Diabate when he was 18. ''He was a Muay-Thai champion and he was starting his MMA career. He introduced us to the sport and we were hooked that instance. He knew that MMA is the future. We formed a team – The Snake Team – and it rapidly became one of the best French MMA teams.''
He enjoys standup and prefers boxing but in the last years had put extensive work in the ground game to improve his all-around presence. Xavier Foupa-Pokam is coming to Abu Dhabi with desire to become an AD Warriors Champion one day. That being said, the audience in the IPIC Arena might really enjoy this one.
Don't miss out and be a part of AD Warriors 2 on March 26 at 3 PM GMT. The Warriors are ready to rock the world!
